Fokker S.11 Instructor for Sale — Dutch Military Trainer Classic
The Fokker S.11 Instructor is a postwar Dutch two-seat military trainer that served numerous air forces during the 1950s and 1960s as an effective primary training platform. Designed by Fokker Aircraft Company in the Netherlands and first flown in 1947, the S.11 was adopted by the Royal Netherlands Air Force and exported to Israel, Brazil, Italy, and other nations as a reliable and honest trainer that prepared military pilots for the transition to more demanding aircraft. The side-by-side seating configuration, Lycoming O-435 engine, and conventional handling characteristics made the S.11 an effective tool for introducing student pilots to the demands of military flying.
S.11 Characteristics
The Fokker S.11 features a low-wing monoplane configuration with fixed tricycle landing gear, side-by-side seating for instructor and student, and the Lycoming O-435-A engine producing 190 horsepower. The aircraft's docile handling and clear communication between seats made it an effective training platform, while its robust construction absorbed the inevitable rough handling of students learning the basics of coordinated flight. Israeli Air Force S.11s accumulated extensive operational hours training the pilots who would later fly in operational squadrons, giving the type an indirect role in some of the most significant aerial combat of the postwar era.
