The Fokker F.27 Mk.050 was a new and improved version of the
Fokker F.27 Srs.500 featuring almost 80% new parts. Externally similar
to the F.27-500, the main difference is the engine installation and
six-bladed propellers. The more efficient Pratt & Whitneys give better
fuel economy and lower operating costs. A higher powered variant was the
Series 300 which has 2x 2750shp(2050kW) Pratt & Whitney PW127B giving
better performance at altitude. Production ended in 1996 when Fokker
went bankrupt.
