Development

The Fokker F.XXXVI registered "PH-AJA" first flew on the 22 June 1934 and was a high-wing canilever monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear. It was powered by four Wright Cyclone radial piston engines mounted in the wing leading edge. Designed to carry 4 crew and 32 passengers in four eight-seat cabins. It was delivered to KLM and operated on European routes from March 1935. Although it had a good payload it was aerodynamically and structurally inferior to the new Douglas DC-2 and DC-3 and only one was built. KLM sold the aircraft in 1939 to Scottish Aviation for use as a crew and navigation trainerfor the Royal Air Forces No. 12 Elementary Flying Training School, which was operated by Scottish Aviation. It was scrapped in 1940 after it burnt out in a take-off accident.
