Fokker 100
The Fokker 100 is a stretched, modernised development of the earlier Fokker F28, updated with a glass cockpit and quieter, more efficient engines for the 1980s regional jet market. It became one of the most popular regional jets of its era, competing with the BAe 146 and early Bombardier CRJ and Embraer E-Jet models. Fokker's financial collapse in the 1990s ended production, cutting short what had been a commercially successful program. A number remain in active regional airline and government service today, decades after the last one was built.
