In early 1929, Fokker designed and built a prototype of a single-engine cargo aircraft, probably to meet a requirement from KLM. The F.XIV was a high-wing monoplane powered by a Script error: No such module "convert". Gnome-Rhône Jupiter VI radial engine and had a fixed tailwheel undercarriage. Two pilots sat in an enclosed cockpit forward of the wing's leading edge, while the aircraft's cabin could carry Script error: No such module "convert". in a Script error: No such module "convert". long cabin.[1]
There was little interest from airlines in a cargo aircraft, and in 1931 Fokker rebuilt the F.XIV as a three-engined passenger airliner, the F.XIV-3m. The Jupiter was replaced by three Script error: No such module "convert". Lorraine Algol radial engines, while the cabin had seats for eight passengers. Although tested by KLM, it was not purchased or operated by them, and ended its days as an exhibit in a pleasure garden.[2][3]
