Fokker S-11 MB-416 Trainer

Technique The M.416 was a classic aircraft made in mixed technique; single-engine low-wing monoplane with fixed landing gear. The fuselage was made with a welded steel tube structure , with stringers placed on the external profile of the structure, and covered in canvas except in the front section where the engine was positioned, enclosed in a hood . On the same there was the cockpit with two seats side by side, for the student pilot and his instructor, completely closed by a Perspex dome . At the rear it ended in a traditional single fin empennage with cantilevered horizontal planes . The wing , of entirely metallic construction, was made in a single piece, with a two-spar structure , and was positioned low and cantilevered . The landing gear was a fixed bicycle, with shock-absorbed front elements, integrated at the rear by a "directional" support wheel. Propulsion was entrusted to a Lycoming O-435 , an air-cooled 6-cylinder opposed engine capable of delivering a maximum power of 190 hp (142 kW ) at 2,500 rpm which was combined with a two- bladed wooden propeller fixed pitch
