Crane Aerospace & Electronics (Crane A&E), a division of the Crane Company, has been selected by German original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Deutsche Aircraft to provide the proximity sensing system for its 40-seat regional turboprop, the D328eco. This decision follows Crane A&E’s earlier selection to supply the brake control system for the same aircraft.
For six decades, Crane A&E has supplied aircraft manufacturers with reliable proximity sensing components and systems for precise position sensing of aircraft mechanical systems. Over 30 years ago, Crane was also chosen to provide a similar Proximity Sensing System for the D328® turboprop, marking the continuation of a successful collaboration. Crane A&E will now introduce its latest proximity sensing interface on the D328eco, offering Deutsche Aircraft a low-risk solution.
“We are pleased to be working with Deutsche Aircraft and look forward to supplying the D328eco with our latest proximity sensing solution,” said Joseph Mundinger, Crane Aerospace & Electronics Vice President and General Manager of Sensing & Power Systems. “Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to providing the D328eco with a premier system that will benefit Deutsche Aircraft’s customers.”
Nico Neumann, Chief Operating Officer at Deutsche Aircraft, affirmed, “We are glad to continue our ongoing partnership with Crane Aerospace & Electronics, a highly esteemed organisation in our industry. Their proven expertise will be crucial for Deutsche Aircraft’s efforts to advance the completion of our D328eco.”
