FH227
The Fairchild-Hiller FH-227 is a turboprop regional airliner developed by the American manufacturer Fairchild-Hiller Corporation as a stretched and Americanized version of the Fokker F27 Friendship. Introduced in 1966, the FH-227 features a lengthened fuselage capable of seating up to 56 passengers, and is powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines. The aircraft was designed for short- to medium-haul regional routes and was used extensively by regional and commuter airlines in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. It offered a comfortable cabin environment for its era and was capable of operating from shorter regional runways. Despite its advantages, the FH-227 faced stiff competition from other turboprop and early jet regional aircraft, and production ended after approximately 79 aircraft were built. A number of FH-227s continued in service with smaller operators into the 1990s, particularly in cargo and charter roles. The FH-227 is an important chapter in American regional aviation history.
