In 1975 an improved model, the BO 105CB was released with Allison 250-C20B turboshafts, used by the Swedish army as an anti-tank helicopter, armed with eight BGM-71 TOW missiles, and by other nations in a maritime version. The BO 105 is manned by a crew of two comprising a pilot and weapons operator sitting side-by-side.

The Fokker F 28 Fellowship MK 4000 is a Dutch short/medium haul commercial airliner. The Fokker F 28 was launched as a successor to the Fokker F 27 in 1962. It is smaller and lighter than other contemporary twin-jets such as the BAe One-Eleven. Highly manoeuvrable in flight, it is designed for STOL with a wing sweepback of only 16 degrees for good handling at low speed, leading-edge slats and double-slotted flaps. There are no thrust-reversers; instead, the F 28 has powerful air brakes which, uniquely, form the tail end of the fuselage, and highly effective wheel brakes. This aircraft can take off from 6,000-foot long runways, or at altitudes as high as 15,000 feet. The F 28 was produced in a cooperative risk-sharing programme in which Shorts of Belfast designed the rear fuselage, MBB of West Germany the pods for the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines, and Fokker's German partner VFW, the tail and other fuselage sections. It is powered by two Rolls-Royce RB 183-2 Spey Mk 555-15H turbofans giving a top speed of 843 kmh and a range of up to 4000 km
depending upon load. The F 28 carries a crew of two or three and 85 passengers seated five-abreast.
