F-28 Mk. 3000

The Mark 3000 was in fact the fifth version of the F.28 to be developed, following the Mark 6000 and 4000, which incorporated the features of the latter two combined with the Mk.1000's shorter fuselage as well as a new look interior.

Dimensions: Although it fuselage is dimensionally identical to the Mk1000, the Mk. 3000 features the wingtip extensions of the later models to increase wingspan to 82 ft 3in as well as various aerodynamic refinements.

Powerplant: The Mk.3000 is powered by the 9,900lb thrust Spey Mark 555-15H equipped with a noise attenuation package. A Mk.3000R version with water/methanol injection for hot and high operation was optional.

Performance: With similar weights to the larger Mk. 4000, the Mk. 3000 featured an MTOW of 70,998lb (later increased to 73,000lb), an MLW of 64,000lb and OEW of 36,190lb. The Mk. 3000 also had an optional 872 US gallon centre wing tank and could thus carry 65 passengers over 1,400nm from a 5,700ft runway.

Timetable: The first Mark 3000 flew on December 23rd 1976 and deliveries commenced on July 27th 1977 to Garuda. In May 1978 the first cargo door equipped version, the -3000C was delivered, while one example of a military variant (-3000M) was built in 1979. The last Mark 3000 was built in 1981, although it was not delivered to a customer until May 1984. A total of 19 Mk.3000s were built and at January 1st 1993 some 17 Mk. 3000s remain in service, including four 3000Cs and one 3000M.
