Introducing the D328eco: The Next-Generation Turboprop Redefining Regional Aviation in North America

Deutsche Aircraft, a leading German aircraft manufacturer, is proud to introduce the new D328eco turboprop aircraft designed to revolutionize regional aviation in North America. Building on the success of the D328® platform, the D328eco is set to revitalize regional air travel by setting a new standard for performance and passenger comfort in the rapidly evolving aviation landscape.

A key player in shaping regional air travel, the United States, along with the rest of North America, has been at the forefront of innovation since pioneering the model for regional air travel in the mid-20th century. In this spirit of progress, Deutsche Aircraft introduces the D328eco turboprop, representing a paradigm shift in sustainable and efficient air travel technology.

With its cutting-edge design and eco-friendly features, the D328eco offers an attractive alternative to aging aircraft in the regional U.S. market by prioritizing efficiency, environmental responsibility and technological advances.

The revolutionary Garmin® CompanionTM flight deck is FAA NextGen ready and will increase airport and route situational awareness, improve overall reliability, reduce pilot workload and maintenance costs. Equipped with a jet bridge-compatible front door and a cabin that delivers a mainline passenger experience, the D328eco proves itself as a 21st-century turboprop aircraft capable of meeting the demands and expectations of the North American market.

Featuring a fuel-efficient, lightweight design made from advanced composites and equipped with the latest Pratt & Whitney PW127XT-S engines that deliver 40% longer flight endurance, 20% lower maintenance costs and 3% lower SFC compared to previous generation engines, the D328eco ensures significant cost savings for operators and affordable tickets for passengers.

With a maximum cruise speed of 324 KTS, a service ceiling of 30,000 ft and efficient engines that actively reduce the aircraft’s carbon footprint, the D328eco turboprop is positioned as an ideal replacement for the legacy jet aircraft that currently form the backbone of regional aviation in the United States.

Developed to cover the average length of regional air travel in North America (approximately 500NM), the D328eco is perfectly compatible with the hub-and-spoke model prevalent in the United States. With a maximum range of 655NM at full capacity, the D328eco covers over 98% of all turboprop flights and 95% of all regional jet flights globally, while flying faster than any other turboprop aircraft currently in production. The ability to operate on high-altitude runways provides access to remote communities, stimulating economic growth and boosting tourism in underserved areas.

Deutsche Aircraft is determined to reshape air travel in North America with its new 40-seat turboprop aircraft. With its sustainable, cost-effective and connectivity-focused approach, the D328eco is poised to revolutionize the regional aviation landscape, offering operators a reliable and future-proof investment for the advancement of air travel.
