Deutsche Aircraft, the German aircraft manufacturer, has selected Honeywell to provide its Primus HF-1050 high-frequency (HF) radio system for the new 40-seat D328eco turboprop. The HF-1050 is engineered to deliver reliable global voice communications, with advanced features that enhance clarity and performance for operators worldwide.
The HF-1050 system, which reduces background noise for clearer transmissions between pilots and air traffic controllers, enables seamless communication over long distances. This aligns with Honeywell’s focus on three aviation megatrends: automation, the future of aviation, and energy transition. Honeywell avionics are already in widespread use on the Dornier 328-100 and Dornier 328-300 models, highlighting its established relationship with Deutsche Aircraft and its ongoing support for the Dornier fleet.
Deutsche Aircraft has ambitious plans for the D328eco, aiming to produce up to 48 aircraft annually at its advanced final assembly line at Leipzig/Halle Airport. The D328eco is designed to redefine regional aviation with its focus on sustainability and cost efficiency. Incorporating cutting-edge technologies, the aircraft offers improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, making it an environmentally responsible choice for operators.
This collaboration further underscores Honeywell’s commitment to supporting innovative, sustainable aviation solutions while strengthening its longstanding partnership with Deutsche Aircraft. Together, the companies aim to deliver a greener and more efficient future for regional air travel.
