For operators with a quick-change requirement, Fokker offers a system of floor rollers and pallets (including palletised seating) engineered by the Brownline Corporation. The Series 400 Combiplane is the mixed-traffic version of the Series 200 with the same facilities as for the Series 300. The Friendship 500 was the first of the Fokker-made aircraft to have an increase in fuselage length—in this case by 4ft 11 in (com- pared with 6ft 7in by Fairchild Hiller on the 227). This allows two more rows of seats and a fraction more baggage space. Up to 56 seats can be fitted in a commuter layout. The big side front cargo-door is standard, and the RDa.7 Mk 532-7 is the powerplant. The gross weight is the same as that of the 200 and 400 but zero fuel and max landing weights are increased to compensate fo» the higher empty weight. The big breakthrough for the new Series 500 (first proposed in 1966) came in July 1967 with the formal signing of an order for a fleet to replace the DC-3s and DC-4s of the French all-weather night postal service. The first Series 500 was delivered in May 1968.
