Fairchild FH-227 - Definition and Overview

The Fairchild FH-227 is an American-made version of the Fokker F27 Friendship twin-engined turboprop passenger aircraft manufactured under license by Fairchild Aviation. It is superficially similar to the Friendship, though a closer look at the fuselage shows that the FH-227 has a larger cargo area between the cockpit and the passenger area.
