Do 328 re-dux

The recently formed European commercial aircraft OEM Deutsche Aircraft is reportedly developing an upgraded version of the Dornier 328 turboprop airliner, the D328eco. Established by 328 Support Services GmbH (328SSG), itself a subsidiary of Sierra Nevada Corporation, Deutsche Aircraft plans to introduce the type for commuter and multi-role markets by 2025, the aircraft to be produced at a new final assembly line in Leipzig in eastern Germany. Deutsche Aircraft claimed the D328eco “will pave the way to zero emission flight within the next 15 years, much faster than any other OEM, outpacing 2050 international guidelines”.
