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 developement 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.
__TOC__


Developement started December 1988; its maiden flight was on December 6, 1991 and in October 1993 was certified.
== History ==
The aircraft had been developed for high climbrate 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 flightdeck 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 eletronic noise supression, 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.

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.
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.

There are 4 Turboprop- variants available, and 3 Jet variants:

The Dornier 328 aircraft is a shortrange commuter, developed and built by 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.

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)
