The first production model of this 28-36 passenger "DC-3 replacement" will be flying in 1957. This version will be powered by two 1,680 e.s.h.p. Dart 511s. The Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation intends to build the Friendship under licence in the United States . A production line of fifty is planned for the Amsterdam factory, two of which have already been ordered by K.L.M.-Royal Dutch Airlines.

On November 24, 1955, Fokker’s F.27 Friendship prototype, PH-NIV, made its first flight - powered, like the Dart Herald and 748, by a pair of Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops. The type would go on to be a major success for the company, some 787 examples being built by the parent company and under licence by Fairchild Hiller in the USA.
