In this photograph from the Paris Air Show in June 1977, the Rhein Flugzeugbau RFB Fanliner D-EBFL (msn 01) takes center stage. With the airshow serial number 315 prominently displayed on its fuselage, this sleek and innovative aircraft captures the attention of the crowd. Manufactured by Rhein Flugzeugbau, a German aircraft manufacturer based in Rhein-Münster, the Fanliner was a twin-engine, multi-role utility aircraft designed for various applications including air ambulance, VIP transport, and surveillance missions. The Fanliner was known for its advanced features, including a T-tail design, retractable tricycle landing gear, and a spacious cabin that could accommodate up to 12 passengers. The RFB Fanliner made its first flight on March 31, 1976, and this particular aircraft, D-EBFL, was the first one produced. The Paris Air Show in 1977 provided an excellent platform for Rhein Flugzeugbau to showcase the Fanliner to a global audience, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. The photograph captures the essence of the aviation industry's excitement and innovation during this era. With its modern design and advanced capabilities, the RFB Fanliner represented the future of aviation transportation. This image is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of the engineers and designers who brought this aircraft to life and the role that air shows continue to play in showcasing the latest advancements in aeronautical engineering. This photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a unique and extensive archive of aviation history. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the continued importance of aviation in our lives.
