This compact fighter demonstrated Fokker's mastery of lightweight design, achieving 204 km/h from a minuscule 5.9-meter fuselage. The single pilot and engine configuration minimized complexity while the 8.3-meter wingspan provided adequate lift. Its performance suited interception and home defense roles throughout the 1920s.
