  7. Post War Fokker • In 1958, the F-27 Friendship was introduced, Fokker's most successful postwar airliner. I it became the world's best-selling turboprop airliner, reaching almost 800 units sold by 1986, including 206 under license by Fairchild. • In 1962, the jet-poweredF-28 Fellowship followed. Until production stopped in 1987, a total of 241 were built in various versions.  • Fokker began an ambitious project to develop two new aircraft concurrently. The Fokker 50 was to be a completely modernised version of the F-27, and the Fokker 100 a new airliner based on the F-28. Yet development costs were allowed to spiral out of control, almost forcing Fokker out of business in 1987. The Dutch government bailed the company out with 212 million guilders, but demanded Fokker look for a "strategic partner", British Aerospace and DASA being named most likely candidates. • Initial sales of the Fokker 100 were good, leading Fokker to begin development of the Fokker 70, a smaller version of the F100, in 1991, but sales of the F70 were below expectations and the F 100 had strong competition from Boeing and Airbus by then.
