Fokker 100 revival team claims interest in retrofit
By David Kaminski-Morrow
Dutch company NG Aircraft is citing interest in retrofit modification of Fokker 100s to its proposed modernised design, although the primary consideration will still be new airframes.
NG Aircraft has secured a €20 million ($27 million) loan from a Dutch Government agency to fund a prototype 'XF Series' aircraft, which will use the original 'Q001' Fokker 100 test airframe.
No engine selection has been made but NG Aircraft chief Jaap Rosen Jacobson says the company is in discussions with "three or four" potential suppliers. He declines to identify them.
Carriers are looking for a completely new airframe, says Jacobson, but he adds that that some have shown interest in retrofitting their current fleet.

Sounds quite a bit more realistic than new builds I would say
Although the idea of rebuilding MS760 Paris' is more appealing to me

Totally off topic I am afraid but the company JetSet plans to refurbish a number of MS760s. There are even rumours some will be streached to 6 seatersStratofreighter wrote:Errrmmm... Can you explain what you mean by mentioning this classic old French jet trainer
