Flight Deck
Designed for the D328eco™, the Companion™ integrated flight deck based on the Garmin G5000® avionics suite allows superior situational awareness, reduces pilot work and increases efficiency. This revolutionary, brand-new flight deck also significantly reduces maintenance costs and improves reliability.
Cabin
The airframe of the D328eco™ is nearly two metres longer than the original D328® which increases the seating capacity to 40 passengers as a standard configuration and enhances the proven multi-role capability of the aircraft. Quiet and fully customisable, the future-driven cabin design offers ample space for passengers, large overhead bins for storage and is equipped with a galley for hot and cold service.
Landing Gear
Building on the superior field performance of the D328®, the new landing gear from HEGGEMANN AG coupled with a gravel kit allows the D328eco™ to access unpaved runways, allowing unbeatable operational flexibility.
Propellers
Optimised for higher propulsive efficiency and low noise, the new Collins Aerospace 568F-3 propellers work with the engine to ensure the D328eco™ remains one of the most economical turboprops in the regional and special mission markets.
Engine
Customised for the D328eco™, the PW127XT-S engine from Pratt and Whitney Canada is the most efficient, cost-effective and modern turboprop engine available today. With its enhanced shaft horsepower to support the increased maximum take-off weight, the PW127XT-S engine will extend time-on-wing while reducing emissions, operating costs and maintenance costs.
SAF
Leveraging the efficiency of its turboprop engine, airframe and aircraft systems, the D328eco™ is 100% compatible with the most advanced Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). The focus on Power-to-Liquids (PtL) will bring down CO₂ emissions to near zero and significantly reduce non-CO₂ effects through cleaner combustion.
Airframe
The benchmark aerodynamic airframe platform has a service ceiling of 30,000ft which enables altitude and speed performance for optimised flight routing. The flexible layout of the interior and high wing configuration facilitates multi-role mission capabilities.
