variants with their own articles=The Fokker D.XVI was a fighter aircraft developed in the Netherlands in the late 1920s. It was a conventional, single-bay sesquiplane with staggered wings braced with V-struts. It featured an open cockpit and fixed, tailskid undercarriage. The wings were of wood with plywood covering, and the fuselage was of steel tube construction with fabric fabric covering.

The Royal Netherlands Army ordered 14 aircraft, which differed from the prototype in having divided main undercarriage units in place of the prototype's cross-axle, and Hungary purchased four aircraft with Gnome et Rhône-built Bristol Jupiter engines in place of the Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar engines used on the Dutch machines. Evaluation aircraft were also provided to China and Italy, and the Netherlands East Indies Army, this latter machine powered by a Curtiss V-1570, but no further sales resulted. The type also won a competition organised by the government of Romania to select a new fighter, but despite this, no orders were placed.
