Flight deck

The D328eco™ Companion Flight Deck is being prepared for potential future single pilot operation, with the latest generation Garmin avionics suite. This will enable greater operational efficiency and ensures full compliance with all known future CNS/ATM regulations.

Cabin

The D328eco™ is nearly 2 meters longer than the original D328® airframe to provide additional seating capacity and enhance the proven multi-role capability of the aircraft. Seating 40 passengers as a standard configuration. The new cabin design will offer increased health and safety capabilities while allowing standard trolleys on-board.

Landing Gear

The D328eco builds on the D328® superior field performance. The new landing gear from Heggemann coupled with a gravel kit allows access to unmade runways allowing for greater operational flexibility.

Propellers

Optimized for higher propulsive efficiency and low noise, they will work together with the engine to ensure the D328eco™ remains one of the most economical turboprops within the regional and special mission markets.

Engine

The Pratt and Whitney Canada PW127XT-S engine, more efficient, better performance increased SHP (shaft horsepower) to support the increased MTOW (max take-off weight). This engine provides reduced emissions, less operating cost and less maintenance cost.

SAF

Airframe, engines, and aircraft systems ensure compliance with future environmental regulations and readiness for 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 is with a ceiling of 30,000 ft. It enables altitude and speed performance for efficient and optimised flight routing. The interior capacity and the high wing configuration enable a variety of different mission capabilities.
