First Deutsche Aircraft D328eco test aircraft under construction
German OEM Deutsche Aircraft has commenced construction of its first D328eco test aircraft, the TAC 1, starting with the extension of the first fuselage.
“We are thrilled to announce the fuselage cut for the D328eco programme,” said Nico Neumann, COO at Deutsche Aircraft. “This milestone is a testament to the hard work and ingenuity of our team, which has successfully started the TAC 1 development process. It showcases our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions and enabling early flight testing for the D328eco”.
The D328eco programme, launched in 2020, aims to improve the company’s exiting Dornier 328 turboprop platform. “With its advanced technologies and sustainable design, the D328eco offers operators enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, contributing to a greener future for the aviation industry,” states Deutsche Aircraft.
“The hard work that has gone into the design of the D328eco according to market needs will be integrated into the construction of the test aircraft, to deliver a best-in-class turboprop for regional and special mission operators,” added Anastasija Visnakova, VP sales and marketing at Deutsche Aircraft.
