variants with their own articles=The Fokker F.25 Promotor first flown in 1946, was a single-engined, twin-boomed, four-passenger monoplane with a pusher engine mounted at the rear of a central nacelle. One interesting feature of the design was that instead of a 2 + 2 seating, the pilot sat in front to the left, and all three passengers were on a bench seat to the rear of him. The F.25 was evocative of the pre-war G.I design. The F.25 was the brain child of Frits Diepen, of Bergen op Zoom, Holland. He developed the basic design as a 'home built' airplane, powered by a Ford V-8, during World War II. Although 20 F.25 aircraft were constructed, sales were disappointing for the same reason that thwarted the sales prospects of so many American post-war designs. A newly built aircraft could not compete in cost with the thousands of surplus aircraft on the market in the years following the war.pecifications (Fokker F25)
