In 1996, Dutch planemaker Fokker ceased operations. Leading up to the company's sad conclusion, unfavorable conditions brought on by a recession and a spike in gas prices in the early 1990s resulted in significant losses. Despite the Fokker 100 being hailed as "ahead of its time," production of the type ended when its maker went bankrupt. Hoping to revive this chapter of Dutch aviation, a company by the name of Rekkof set out in the early 2000s to produce a next-generation variant of the Fokker aircraft.
