The '''Dornier 328''' [[aircraft]] is a shortrange commuter, developed and built by [[Dornier|Dornier]]. It was the last flying aircraft made by Dornier, and the last airliner completely developed and built in Germany. | |||
The FlightGear model is currently in development, simulating the Dornier 328-110 with ground spoilers with and without APU. | |||
Special Thanks to the user Groucho from the FlightGear forums, who made it possible for me look into the flight manual! Also thanks to the author of the 747-200 which showed mo how to deal with the FDM problem. | |||

# Finally back! WIP 07/07/2015: new JSBSim-FDM witch finally matches [[Aircraft speed#V speeds|V speeds]] (V<sub>R</sub>, V<sub>Ref</sub>, ...) together with pitch attitudes and AOA - matches POH pretty well! Unfortunately the rating system doesn't reflect this. | |||
# Landing estimated late summer 2015 | |||
# Please regard FlightGear's etiquette: contact the authors first you help and contribute - this helps to prevent chaos in developing, since the efforts can be coordinated. | |||
__TOC__ | |||
== History == | |||
The development has been started back in the 1980s as successor for the Dornier 228. Dornier found that there was a market for a 33-passenger aircraft, so they created an aircraft with a complete round fuselage and the TNT-wing (Tragflügel neuer Technologie = Wing of New Technology) of the Dornier 228. | |||
Development started December 1988; its maiden flight was on December 6, 1991 and in October 1993 was certified. | |||
The aircraft had been developed for high climb rate and high speed, but short landing which was possible due the wing and the new developed propeller. As non-typical for this class of aircraft the flight deck has been fitted with 5 Displays from the Honeywell Primus 2000 avionic. The cabin was very comfortable for its class, as it was wide and round, and there was an active electronic noise suppression, giving a jet-like feeling. | |||
In the 90s turboprop aircraft were unpopular, as flight companies preferred smaller jets. So Fairchild-Dornier developed the Dornier 328 JET, a jet driven version of the Dornier 328. | |||
There had been larger versions of this aircraft planned: Dornier 428 and 528, stretched versions of the Dornier 328, but these were never built. | |||
When Fairchild-Dornier went bankrupt, the production of the Dornier 328 had been stopped in 2005, only 217 aircraft (prop and jet version) had been built, plus 3 prototypes. | |||
=== Variants === | |||
There are 4 Turboprop- variants available, and 3 Jet variants: | |||
* Dornier 328-100 (basic version, 33 passengers, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW119) | |||
* Dornier 328-110 (increased MTOW by 350kg, increased range), Pratt & Whitney Canada PW119B) | |||
* Dornier 328-120 (special short range equipment) | |||
* Dornier 328-130 (higher speed, improved rudder, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW119C) | |||
Ground spoilers and APU were optional on all turboprop variants | |||
* Dornier 328-300/ 328JET (jet driven version) | |||
* Dornier 328 Envoy 3 (Business Jet version) | |||
* Dornier 328DBJ (Replacement of the Envoy 3 with a larger cabin) | |||
