__NOTOC__ The Fokker F.10 was an enlarged version of the Fokker F.VII airliner, built in the late 1920s by the Fokker Aircraft Corporation of America. It carried 12 passengers, four more than the F.VII, and had a larger wing and more powerful engines. Fokker built 65 for U.S. commercial and military service. After the crash of TWA Flight 599 in 1931, which was caused in part by the deterioration of the wooden structure in the F.10's wing, the type was temporarily grounded, and it was required to undergo more frequent and rigorous inspection and maintenance. Its public image was also greatly damaged, leading to its early retirement from U.S. airlines. ==Variants== ;F.10 :Initial production variant ;F.10A :Improved and revised 14-passenger variant powered by three Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engines, often called the ''Super Trimotor''. ;C-5 :United States Army designation for the evaluation of one re-engined F.10A powered by three Wright R-975 radials. ;LB-2 :Light bomber version. ;RA-4 :United States Navy designation for the evaluation of one F.10A. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fokker F.10」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
