1448 - Surveying, Geometry & Technology - Fokker F 36 Aircraft Model: "Flying Hotel." Netherlands, circa 1934, model of the “Köninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, Royal Mail, PH-AJA, Arend,” made of wood and metal, painted, mounted on a metal stand. Dimensions: approx. 48 x 64 x 35 cm. The Fokker F.XXXVI was a four-engine propeller-driven passenger aircraft built by the Dutch manufacturer Fokker in the 1930s; only a single example was ever built. The model designation is a reference to the aircraft’s size, which could carry 36 people, including the cockpit crew. Due to its capacity and high level of comfort, the aircraft was nicknamed the “Flying Hotel.” Constructed using a mixed-structure design, the aircraft could no longer compete with the all-metal aircraft of that era. Only this prototype was built in 1934 and put into service by KLM, where it was used in the following years on routes from Amsterdam to Berlin and London.
