From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dutch trainer aircraft
The
Fokker S.III
was a
biplane
trainer aircraft of the 1920s. It was of conventional configuration, seating the pilot and instructor in tandem, open
cockpits
. The
single-baywings
were staggered and of unequal span.
In 1927, Fokker's US subsidiary,
Atlantic Aircraft
imported a single example, in an attempt to interest the US Army in the type, but this did not result in a sale. The aircraft was eventually purchased by the
Wright Aeronautical Corporation
and used as an engine testbed until broken up in 1929.
