Boing 737-300


The 737-300 is the first of the three member second generation CFM56 powered 737 family, which also comprises the stretched 737-400 and shortened 737-500. The success of the second generation Boeing 737 family pushed sales of the mark to over 3000, a record for a commercial jetliner.



Boeing announced it was developing the 737-300 in March 1981. This new variant started off as a simple stretch over the 737-200 but Boeing decided to adopt the CFM International CFM56 high bypass turbofan (jointly developed by General Electric and SNECMA) to reduce fuel consumption and comply with the then proposed International Civil Aviation Organisation Stage 3 noise limits.

Despite the all new engines and the 2.64m (104in) fuselage stretch, the 737-300 retains 80% airframe spares commonality and shares the same ground handling equipment with the 737-200. A number of aerodynamic improvements were incorporated to further improve efficiency including modified leading edge slats and a new dorsal fin extending from the tail. Another feature was the flattened, oval shaped engine nacelles, while the nosewheel leg was extended to increase ground clearance for the new engines. Other internal changes include materials and systems improvements first developed for the 757 and 767 programs, including an early generation EFIS flightdeck (with four colour CRT screens).


The 737-300 flew for the first time on February 24 1984, while first deliveries were from November 1984. Since that time well over 1000 737-300s have been sold and it forms the backbone of many airlines' short haul fleets.


The stretched 737-400 and shortened 737-500 are described separately.

Fokker F-27


Probably the closest to being the fabled DC-3 replacement, the Fokker F-27 Friendship, including the Fairchild built F-27 and FH-227, was built in greater numbers than any other western turboprop airliner.

The Fokker F-27 began life as a 1950 design study known as the P275, a 32 seater powered by two RollsRoyce Dart turboprops. With the aid of Dutch government funding the P275 evolved into the F-27, which first flew on November 24 1955. This original prototype was powered by Dart 507s and would have seated 28, by the time the second prototype had flown (in January 1957) the fuselage length grew to allow seating for 32.

Overall Length : 82 ft 3 in (23.06 m)

Fokker f-100

The Fokker 100 is a twin-engined, low-wing monoplane. It has cantilevered swept wings and empennage, and semi-monocoque fuselage of circular cross section. The majority of the structure is metal, but extensive use is made of plastics, in flight controls and fairings.


Power is supplied by two rear mounted Rolls Royce turbofan engines, which are equipped with thrust reversers.

An APU, installed in the rear fuselage, provides electrical power, and air for cabin conditioning and engines starting, when the aircraft is on the ground. The APU can also provide electrical power in flight.





Fuel is carried in an integral main tank in each wing, and the center wing tank assembly.

A hydraulically-operated tricycle landing gear, comprising a dual wheel nose gear with hydraulically-operated brakes, is installed on the aircraft. When retracted, the landing gear is enclosed by hydraulically-operated doors. The brakes have an electronically-controlled anti-skid system. Two emergency exits are located, in the over-wing area, on each side of the passenger compartment.

Access to the cargo compartment is provided by manually operated doors at the right hand side of the fuselage, two for the forward cargo compartment, and one for the rear cargo compartment.
