Abstract

The article focuses on a plan by the government of the Netherlands to create a public-private partnership to produce a Fokker 100 model regional jet transport. The government has given a $27.3 million loan to NG Aircraft, the new company which is attempting to revive the design. The choice of engine, which is considered vital in reducing fuel use to make the jet plane economically competitive with the Embraer 190 jet, is discussed.
