- Koolhoven F.K.48
__NOTOC__
The Koolhoven F.K.48 was an airliner built in the Netherlands in 1934 for
KLM . It was a conventional, semi-cantilever high-wing monoplane, powered by two engines mounted on the wing leading edges. The undercarriage was of fixed, tailskid type with divided main units. The fuselage was of welded steel tube construction, covered in fabric, which was oval in cross section at the nose, transitioning to a rectangular cross-section for the passenger cabin. The wings were wooden structures skinned in plywood.The sole example built was registered PH-AJX and therefore quickly gained the nickname "Ajax". It was used by KLM on the
Rotterdam -Eindhoven route until 1936, when it was retired to training and instructional duties within the airline.pecifications
