I recently bought this “Guide to the world airliners” from a local library book sale, the book is copyrighted 1982 and has some interesting aircraft information but what caught my eye was this page on the “McDonnell Douglas-Fokker MDF-100” it includes a drawing of what it was going to look like as you will see in the picture attached below…
I wanted to know more information about this aircraft but have been struggling to find any, I was wondering if someone on the IFC knew more about the MDF-100 then just the information in the book and if they could share some or a link to a webpage about this aircraft.
Thanks,
Will :)
Feel free to move this post into a different category if you feel it’s appropriate, I don’t really know where to put it 🤷♂️
Except some propellers I can’t think of any under wing (though props are more in wing) T-Tails, wonder what the thinking there was because I can only assume everyone else in the industry does it differently for a good reason.
Would’ve loved to see this happen. If McDonnell Douglas and Fokker had gone through with this, we would’ve had another medium-haul aircraft, and both companies probably could’ve stayed around for years longer. Because both manufacturers didn’t have a medium-haul midsize aircraft at the time.
