Deutsche Aircraft, the German original equipment manufacturer (OEM), has concluded a successful week at the Farnborough International Airshow. The highlight of this year’s event was the unveiling of the first fuselage cut for the inaugural test aircraft of the D328eco™ programme.
The Farnborough International Airshow began on a momentous note for Deutsche Aircraft, as the OEM announced the initiation of the first fuselage cut for the D328eco test aircraft. This significant milestone sets the stage for the test aircraft’s maiden flight. With over 95% of suppliers already on board, the D328eco programme has made remarkable progress over the past four years.
In addition, Deutsche Aircraft welcomed two additional suppliers during the week, further strengthening the programme’s robust supply chain network. These include SASMOS HET for the design, development and fabrication of the electrical wiring interconnection system (EWIS) and Triumph for the precooler.
The prominent presence of Deutsche Aircraft at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow was highlighted by its exclusive location at Chalet 328, a number synonymous with the OEM and its associated aircraft type. The construction of the chalet’s Experience Centre was designed around the placement of the immersive D328eco mock-up, which was presented as a single cabin and cockpit experience.
Anastasija Visnakova, Vice President Sales and Marketing at Deutsche Aircraft remarked: “Our successful participation at the Farnborough Air Show this year underscores our dedication to advancing the D328eco programme and solidifying our position as a leading player in the aviation industry. With major milestones achieved and an expanding network of suppliers and business partners, the future looks promising for Deutsche Aircraft and our innovative aircraft.”
