The Fokker S-11 Instructor
is a single-engine two-seater propeller aircraft designed and
manufactured by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker.
One of the first activities undertaken by Fokker after World War II was
the design of a new military aircraft for elementary flying training,
the S-11 Instructor. An aircraft trader already placed orders for 100 of
these aircraft in 1946, before construction had even begun. The first
prototype flew at Schiphol on 18 December 1947. During testing in early
1948 it was found that some aerodynamic changes had to be made to
improve the handling of the aircraft.
A total of 375 aircraft were built by Fokker, and a further 178 were
manufactured under licence by Macchi in Italy.
Die Fokker S-11 Instructor ist ein einmotoriges, zweisitziges Propellerflugzeug, das von dem nieder-ländischen Flugzeughersteller Fokker entwickelt und hergestellt wurde.
Eine der ersten Aktivitäten, die Fokker nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg unternahm, war die Konstruktion eines neuen Militärflugzeugs für die fliegerische Grundausbildung, des S-11 Instructor. Ein Flugzeughändler bestellte bereits 1946 100 dieser Flugzeuge, noch bevor der Bau begonnen hatte. Der erste Prototyp flog am 18. Dezember 1947 in Schiphol. Bei der Erprobung Anfang 1948 wurde festgestellt, dass einige aerodynamische Änderungen vorgenommen werden mussten, um das Handling des Flugzeugs zu verbessern.
Insgesamt wurden 375 Flugzeuge von Fokker gebaut, weitere 178 wurden in Lizenz von Macchi in Italien hergestellt.

Operational history
Einsatzgeschichte
The
Marine Luchtvaartdienst used
the S-11 for years at the Kooy airfield in den Helder for the training
of Midshipmen. This happened with 22 aircraft that were alternately
borrowed/used from the Air Force in the period between 1959 and 1969.
Later, in 1970, 9 S-11s were taken over from the Air Force.
The S-11s were assigned to the VSQ-9 squadron on the Kooy, on 28. August
1973 the
Marine Luchtvaartdienst S-11s were withdrawn from service.
