[42] The central CRT serves as the engine-indicating and crew-alerting system, while the two inner CRTs are used as multifunctional displays and the outermost two CRTs perform as the primary flight displays. A jet-powered version of the aircraft, the Fairchild Dornier 328JET, was also produced. [14], By March 1997, reports emerged that Dornier was set to start converting the second 328 prototype into the first turbofan-powered 328JET prototype.

", "Dornier 328 prototype hit by propeller failure. 1 - 2 Due to the public perception of noise and reliability issues with turboprops, Fairchild-Dornier developed the turbofan-based 328-300 or 328JET, of which 83 were sold. [35] It will be powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127S and advanced avionics could allow single-pilot operations. After the sale of these airplanes, AvCraft negotiated with its suppliers to resume production due to low profit expectations for its other projects. The 328JET prototype rolled out on 6 December 1997 at Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, and made its first flight there on 20 January 1998. Believing in the under 40-seat market, Sierra Nevada Corporation and 328 Support Services GmbH are searching for other means to revive the aircraft, hoping to follow through by the end of 2017 or early 2018. [9] During June 1997, the first sales of the type were announced, French regional operator Proteus Airlines emerged as the launch customer as a result of a $70 million order for six aircraft, alongside orders from other customers. [35], On 21 August 2019, 328 Support Services announced the formation of DRA GmbH to establish its final assembly line for the D328NEU at Leipzig/Halle Airport, creating of up to 250 new jobs there and over 100 jobs in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich; the programme should be detailed late in the first quarter of 2020. [37] [10] On 4 June 1992, a second 328 prototype performed its first flight. [40] According to Deutsche Aerospace, the 328 offered the "lowest noise level, widest cabin, highest standing room, widest cabin floor, and widest seats in the three-abreast class". [13] According to Andrew Doyle of the aerospace periodical Flight International, the reenginging programme was being well-received, referring to it as a "a new lease of life". [10][11] It was hoped that the 328JET would have market appeal with those who found the 328 to not meet their preferences, in particular those customers based in the Middle East. [29] It could be followed by the larger TR628/TRJ-628. The Fairchild-Dornier 328JET is a short range regional jet airliner, originally designed by Germany’s Dornier. [citation needed], During 2005, AvCraft itself filed for bankruptcy. Swanborough, Gordon. English: The Fairchild-Dornier 328JET is a commuter airliner based upon the turboprop-powered Dornier 328. A 40 Seat version 428Jet was dropped from the development in 2000. The 328JET was designed by Dornier in response to negative feedback from some customers on the marketability of turboprops against the more appealing turbofan engine. Accordingly, five 328-100s were progressively commissioned from April 2006 [47] to February 2007 and stationed around the Australian coastline to provide a 24-hour, 30-minute response capability. [42] A total of six cabin configurations is available for passenger and cargo operations; these include a flexible combi aircraft layout with a movable wall separating passengers and cargo, and a medical evacuation arrangement equipped with biofloors and positions for four litters and medical attendees.

[5] The new entity chose to continue with the programme, albeit rebranding the type as the 328JET. This photograph originates from a press photo archive. At one stage, a stretched variant of the 328JET, commonly referred to as the 428JET, was under active development. Fairchild Aircraft acquired Dornier in 1996, with the introduction of the 328JET happening shortly thereafter. [4] By 1998, a dedicated corporate-orientated version, branded Envoy 3, was also being promoted. Corporate model Envoy 3. The Fairchild-Dornier 328JET is a commuter airliner, based upon the turboprop-powered Dornier 328, developed by the German aircraft manufacturer Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH. [27][24] Shortly thereafter, Sierra Nevada's owner, Turkish-American Engineer Fatih Ozmen, established a private corporation named Özjet Havacılık Teknolojileri A.Ş. ", "Fairchild Dornier creates new identity for corporate 328JET. These are progressively being upgraded with an in-flight-opening cargo door to allow dispatch of larger items, up to 20-man life rafts, and boat-dewatering pumps for open-water rescues. [36] The company signed a MoU with the federal authorities of Germany, and State of Saxony ministries. [15], Following the bankruptcy of Fairchild Dornier, AvCraft Aviation acquired the Dornier 328/328JET rights, but this company entered bankruptcy itself less than three years later. The Dornier 328 is a turboprop-powered commuter airliner. [7] Dornier representatives believed that there was a viable market for up to 600 328JETs. Following Dornier's insolvency, AvCraft Aviation of Virginia acquired the 328 program during March 2003. [13][14] The 328 was launched into the market during a period of large numbers of competing turboprop aircraft, as well as increasing competition from newly launched regional jets, which were becoming increasingly popular during the early 1990s. The Fairchild-Dornier 328JET is a 32 or 34 passenger regional jet airliner that was built from 1997 to 2002. [42] The propeller blades generate notably less noise in comparison to their contemporary counterparts due to features such as their lower rotation speed,[43][6] propeller synchrophasing, and the use of a six-blade configuration. In June 2015, the Turkish government launched the Turkish TR328 and TRJ328 regional aircraft project, a modernized 328/328JET, with either turboprops or jets for civil and military use [32] and a larger TR628/TRJ-628[33] forecasting a break-even level and market of 500–1000 for each type. Search 1000's of Aircraft listings updated daily from 100's of dealers & private sellers. First prototype of the Fairchild Dornier 328JET. Initially produced by Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH, the firm was acquired in 1996 by Fairchild Aircraft. [38], On 7 December 2020, Deutsche Aircraft (ex DRA) presented the Deutsche Aircraft D328eco, scheduled for completion in 2020. [3], By November 1996, according to Dornier vice-president for sales Andrew Jampoler, a feasibility study for the programme had been completed and the company was close to selecting an engine; options considered included the General Electric CFE738, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306, and the LF507-1F, as well as a de-rated LF507-2 powerplant. However, amid intense competition in the international market for regional jets, Fairchild Dornier were unable to attain enough sales of the type to maintain production. [50] The Dornier 328 and 328JET is a short-haul regional airliner used in small- scale airlines across the world. [2] Certification was delayed by four months to address issues with the 328JET's undercarriage, specifically involving the brakes and shock absorbers. Early on the 328JET programme, Dornier were already considering options for a stretched version of the aircraft, originally referred to as the 328-700. [12] By the end of the year, Dornier had reportedly secured 17 firm orders and 15 options, while the company claimed it was negotiating two major orders for up to 180 aircraft with the aim of closing over the following three months. [41] The 328 is capable of operations from semiprepared airstrips and rough runways, incorporating features such as its retractable landing gear being equipped with high-floatation tyres and steerable nose gear and a gravel guard. Dornier 328 in the world. at Technopark of Bilkent University, Ankara, and signed a memorandum of understanding with the Transportation Ministry of Turkey to manufacture the 328 at Ankara. Sierra Nevada Corp. plans to build a new stretched 328 in Germany. Moxon, Julian., Douglas Barrie and Ian Goold.

Atlantic Coast Airlines operated over 30 328JET aircraft as part of its Delta Connection service from 2000 until 2005 when Delta Air Lines and Atlantic Coast terminated their agreement with the arrival of Airbus A319s into the rebranded Independence Air fleet. [4] During early February 1997, Dornier formally launched the 328JET programme. The Fairchild Dornier 428JET was a program undertaken by Fairchild Dornier to develop a 44-seat regional jet aircraft.The program was part of a broader attempt by the company to develop a family of regional jets, comprising the 328JET, 428JET, and the 728 series.This family of aircraft was designed to compete with the Bombardier CRJ and Embraer ERJ/Embraer E-Jets families. Midwest Express Dornier Do-328JET-300 Toronto Lester B. Pearson (YYZ / CYYZ) ", "Fairchild 328JET receives European certification. [9], The fuselage of 328 allows for a comfortable three-abreast, airline-style seating arrangement to be used, as well as a dense, four-abreast configuration to accommodate greater passenger numbers, of which it is able to carry a maximum of 27. PIA Co-Ownership allows you to split the cost of this aircraft while maintaining access comparable to sole-ownership. [8], In spite of internal pressures, senior figures remained upbeat about the prospects for the 328JET and the regional jet market. [43][44], The twin-crew glass cockpit of the 328 is equipped with a Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics suite, and the cockpit has an electronic flight instrument system comprising five 20 x 17.5 cm cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors. [15] The latter half of the 328 program took place during a recession, which curtailed demand for new aircraft from operators. It also reviews the proposed, but unbuilt Do-428JET, a stretched derivative. [3] This market research reportedly led Deutsche Aerospace to formulate a sales prediction of 400 or greater units being purchased overall; this forecast was in part derived from the reasoning that the 328 would be more advanced than its nearest competitors. On 20 January 1998, the first 328JET prototype conducted its maiden flight. [34], Existing aircraft can be sourced by 328 Support Services and converted for civil transport, military operations, medical evacuation, or freighter or utility missions for $7–9 million, including zero time turboprops. [7] The propeller system is variable-pitch to maintain a constant engine speed. ", "New era for Dornier 328 with Sierra Nevada acquisition", "FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet No. ", "DASA in talks over Korean 328 deal production. [11] On 14 December 1992, one of the 328 prototypes suffered a near-catastrophic in-flight propeller failure when all six propeller blades on one engine detached before puncturing the fuselage; the subsequent temporary loss of control caused the aircraft to roll 280° and descend 5,000 ft before control was recovered. The first prototype celebrated its roll-out on 6th December 1997 at Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich and performed its first flight there on 20th January 1998. [42], It is equipped with a pair of Pratt and Whitney PW119C turboprop engines, which drive fully reversible Hartzell HD-E6C-3B propellers. In addition to typical passenger models, business jet configurations of both the 728JET and 928JET were projected, tentatively referred to as Envoy 3 and Envoy 7, respectively. While first flight was anticipated in 2019, Turkey abandoned the program in October 2017, after facing increasing costs and being no longer confident of market demand forecasts. [1] By adopting one of these engines, a cruise speed of between 375kt (690km/h) and 390kt at 22,000ft (6,700m) could be achieved, noticeably higher than the original 328's current maximum speed of 335kt at the same altitude.

", "Fairchild Dornier wins 328Jet launch orders. The film chronicles the travails of a German World War II submarine crew that survives all manner of combat and mechanical and political adversity while striving to complete its mission. [2] Jampoler also stated that Dornier had forecast an in-service date of late 1998. [1][19] Work proceeded to the point several customers had signed letters of intent to purchase the upcoming aircraft. Fairchild Dornier also sought to develop a stretched version, designated as the Dornier 428JET, and a dedicated freighter model. [21] In June 1995, Deutsche Aerospace and Daewoo Heavy Industries were reportedly conducting talks on the establishment of a second 328 assembly line in South Korea for the Asian market. Skyway, Midwest and Great Plains are no longer in existence. [1] Market research had indicated that, provided that both the economics and performance of such an aircraft were competitive, this would have greater desirability amongst the market. [15] During the late 1990s, Fairchild Dornier struggled to find both capital and strategic partners to support the project, and the company ultimately entered bankruptcy in April 2002. [2][15] On 6 December 1997, the 328JET prototype rolled out at Dornier's facility outside Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, after which ground-based testing commenced immediately. [citation needed] During June 2006, 328 Support Services GmbH acquired the 328JET type certificate. In July 2018, 24 aircraft remain in airline service. The Fairchild-Dornier 328JET is a commuter airliner based upon the turboprop-powered Dornier 328.A proposed stretched variant was the 428JET..

[43][44] Various materials are used across the airframe; amongst these, an aluminium alloy is used for the pressure fuselage and much of the wingbox, a titanium alloy for the tail cone, and glass fibre-reinforced plastic for the radome and leading edge of the vertical stabilizer. [4] During October 1997, as work was underway on building the first prototype, Dornier announced several improvements to the aircraft, including a higher cruise speed of 400kt that was achieved via a minor reduction of the trailing edge flaps. Serial Number 3209 left the factory as a Mod-10 aircraft, which includes High Gross Weight, Approval for operations at FL350, and approval to operate at high altitude airports. [4] According to Dornier, performance figures gained from the flight testing phase had either met or exceeded their established expectations. [45] Noise-absorbent material is located across the fuselage, while the cabin wall is hung from isolator brackets to reduce vibration and noise transference. Fairchild-Dornier 328Jet (FRJ) The Fairchild Dornier 328 turboprop was designed by Fairchild Dornier, a division of Fairchild Aerospace, at the company's facility in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.

By August 2019, 58 turboprops and 50 jets were in service, with the largest operators being the US Air Force (20 units), Danish carrier Sun-Air (12), German- Private Wings (10), and American Ultimate Jetcharters (8); 19 turboprops and nine jets were in storage, while 79 have been retired. During 2002, the final 328JET left the production line, while support for existing aircraft continues to be provided. Reportedly, producing a jet-powered version of the airliner had been greatly aided by the relatively conservative structural design of the 328. The Dornier, later Fairchild Dornier 328jet has given another lease of life to the essential 328 configuration and was a pioneer of another class of aerial shuttle, that of the 30 seat local plane. [15][24][25] Additionally, Farchild Dornier developed a larger aircraft, the Fairchild Dornier 728 family. Unfortunately, production of the 328 only lasted until 2002 with only 110 being produced. While a prospective revival of the programme has been mooted on multiple occasions, nothing concrete has occurred as of 2019. It would be the last Dornier-designed aircraft to reach production before the company's collapse during the early 2000s. at Technopark of Bilkent University, Ankara and signed a Memorandum of understanding with the Transportation Ministry of Turkey in order to manufacture the 328 at Ankara. Fairchild Dornier 328JET. The Smart Light Passenger Jet The Fairchild Dornier 328JET. [23][21] In June 1996, Deutsche Aerospace sold the majority of Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH to American manufacturer Fairchild Aircraft, leading to the creation of Fairchild Dornier GmbH. [28] A jet-powered version of the aircraft, the Fairchild Dornier 328JET, was also produced. The Fairchild Dornier 328 turboprop was designed by Fairchild Dornier, a division of Fairchild Aerospace, at the company's facility in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.

[20][21] However, a consequence of intense competition within the regional airliner market was multiple manufacturers making losses and terminating their programmes; Fairchild-Dornier were no exception to the industry-wide pressure. Deutsche Aircraft targets a 600 km/h / 324 kn speed, a 9,144 m / 30,000ft altitude, operations from 1,000 m (3,300 ft) runways and claims a fuel consumption of 2.6 l/100 km (90 mpg‑US) each for 43 passengers. [15] The ambitious family project drew the support of the German government, which guaranteed US$350 million in loans for the scheme. The Dornier 328 (or Do 328) program was initially started while Dornier was still owned by Deutsche Aerospace. It would be the last Dornier-designed aircraft to reach production before the company's collapse during the early 2000s. The only operators remaining are Sun Air of Scandinavia with 14 aircraft, Key Lime Air and Ultimate Jetcharters with 14 aircraft combined, Taos Air operated by Advanced Air with 2 aircraft, and Calm Air, Sepehran Airlines, and Air Peace with 1 aircraft each. 2002 Fairchild Dornier 328JET 32 Pax Commuter/Corporate Shuttle - MSN 3207, German registered, EU Ops certified - MTOW 15,660 kg (34,524 lbs), FL 350 - Airframe TTSN 6,523 / 5,582 Landings - Engines P&W 306B, Phase IV upgraded, about same hours/cycles - APU Garret / Honeywell, TT 3,456 hours - 32 Pax Interior with grey Leather Seats During July 1999, type certification was granted by the European Joint Aviation Authorities, corresponding approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was received within the following weeks.[18]. These aircraft were equipped with a comprehensive electronic sensor suite by Aerodata AG in Germany including; Israel Aerospace Industries ELTA EL/M 2022A Radar, FSI Star SAFire III Forward Looking Infra Red, Direction Finder and an ARGON ST Infra Red/Ultra Violet scanner. It primarily flies between Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) and Montreal Saint-Hubert Longueuil Airport (CYHU). [7] Management shake-ups and other measures continued to be performed as part of efforts to reform the business. 32 Pax Commuter/Corporate Shuttle. Furthermore, Dornier had planned to conduct a comprehensive upgrade of the existing model, involving an avionics overhaul and possible re-winging to use a new swept wing, around the early 2000s. Dornier 328JET The Dornier 328-300 or Dornier 328JET entered a new small Regional Jet market segment in 1997. [9] On 6 December 1991, the first prototype conducted the type's maiden flight. [30], At one point, the first flight of a Turkish-built aircraft was anticipated to occur during 2019. Manufacturer: Dornier GmbH Country: Germany Manufactured: 1999 to: 2006 ICAO: Price: US$15 million Specifications. [2], During the mid-1990s, Dornier experienced considerable financial difficulties; these heavily contributed to the company's acquisition by the American aerospace firm Fairchild Aircraft, after which the organisation became Fairchild Dornier. Operated by Sun Air of Scandanavia for British Airways, the Dornier 328Jet is the jet engine … It provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul services to the existing in-service fleet.[29]. [1] Conservative projections anticipated the jet-powered airliner to consume roughly 30% more fuel than its turboprop-powered predecessor, although it was believed that this difference would be decreased by further refinements. [42] The 328 is pressurized, a first for Dornier-built aircraft, which was implemented to achieve a higher level of passenger comfort; the passenger cabin is designed to be more akin to those of much larger passenger aircraft. Regional jet airliner development in the 30 seat class. [4] Favourable features included a high cruising speed of 345 kt (640 km/h), as well as a higher cruising altitude and range, making the aircraft almost as fast as jet airliners while being more fuel-efficient; a trend away from spoke–and-hub distribution in favour of point-to-point transit was also viewed as being favourable to the 328. Major operators include: Express Air (6) and DANA (4). [2], The Dornier 328 is a twin-turboprop engined, regional aircraft, principally designed for short-haul passenger operators; Deutsche Aerospace often promoted the type as being a "third-generation airliner". [8], In May 1991, Horizon Air, a US-based airline, placed an order for 35 aircraft; this was the largest order for the 328 at that point and was larger than any other order for it or its competitors to be placed that year. [7] During the early 1990s, the manufacturer claimed that the use of various noise-reduction measures across the aircraft kept the internal cabin noise "below that of even some modern jet aircraft". In June 2006, 328 Support Services GmbH acquired the type certificate for the Dornier 328. And so it is with this airplane. [24] As a consequence, the firm was acquired by private equity investors and reformed as M7 Aerospace. ", "328 JET sales kicked off by French order. Deutsche Aircraft plan to stretch by 2 m (6 ft 7 in) the D328eco to 23.3m (76.4ft), to carry up to 43 passengers: 10 more than the original 328. [12], On 13 October 1993, the 328 formally entered commercial service. The aircraft are also fitted with an Aeronautical Engineers Australia dispatch system, allowing rescue stores to be dropped from the aircraft through a chute through the underwing emergency exit.
