Fokker Ontwerp Numbers

[Apophenia]

Good stuff hesham. Since my translation effort tried to stay fairly close to Frits Gerdessen's original, I won't add these details to my listing. Tempting though that is

Fokker B.III from 1927 L'Ala D'Italia

And more Fokker B.III from 1927 L'Ala D'Italia

Fokker B.III from 1927 L'Ala D'Italia

Any idea of an ontwerp number for the B.III? Following the pattern of the B.I and B.II, I would assume the original internal form to have been 'F.B.III'

 

[hesham]

Dear Apophenia,

the Fokker B.III was appeared in 1926 and Ontwerp system (100s) was
begun in 1934,and up to this time,they used drawing number earlier.

 

[Apophenia]

Yes. I was wondering if there was an earlier, pre-100 series ontwerpen designation of the type identified by Frits Gerdessen.

 

[hesham]

No pre-100 series as I know,but drawing number,for example
Drawing 11206 was a special aircraft design.

 

[Apophenia]

No pre-100 series ...

Not as a straightforward numbering system, perhaps, but Frits Gerdessen identified at least two pre-100 systems - the 1920-1925 letter-prefix system (hence my mention of the F.B.I and F.B.II) and the 'Named Ontwerpen'.

"...for example Drawing 11206 was a special aircraft design."

I know, having quoted Frits Gerdessen on Tekening 11206 in reply #26 (and its English useage - "Special machine").

We now link Fokker design concepts with the surviving drawing numbers - they are often all we have left. But the existence of the 1920-1925 letter-prefixes and the 'Named Ontwerpen' demonstrate that Fokker employed other methods of identifying design work.

I think it is worth noting that, of the 'Named Ontwerpen', only a few can now associated with tekening nummers. Those drawings which do survive are invaluable. But each design will have had generated multiple tekeningen. Probably safe to say that N.V. Koninklijke Nederlandse Vliegtuigenfabriek Fokker had some other way of keeping track of what flowed through its design office and over their draughtsmen's drawing boards.

I suspect that many designs were confiscated by the Germans after bombing the factory in 1940. See Baade rummaging thru the rubble of the Fokker factory and offices

Also in post # 31,

the Ontwerp 238 led to develop S.14.

The Fokker factory was NOT bombed in 1940, this is the city centre of Rotterdam, The Fokker factory was in Amsterdam. The Koolhoven facrory on the other was bombed and in Rotterdam...

Interesting. Good research

Stumbled over the Ontwerp 194/C.15W design of 1939/1940
