The Air Corps bought one Fokker Model F.XIa amphibian for evaluation in 1931. The flying boat was roughly the same size as the Fokker C-14 and featured a single shoulder-mounted wing, wheels which could retract into sponsons (floats) for water operation and a Pratt & Whitney Hornet radial engine above the wing in the pusher configuration (propeller to the rear).

The Y1C-16 was used primarily for evaluation and testing and only a single example was bought. The Y1C-16 was redesignated C-16 in 1932 after the Y1 subtype designator was dropped.
