Dassault Systèmes is collaborating with Deutsche Aircraft to advance the digital transformation of the aviation industry. In developing the D328eco regional aircraft, Deutsche Aircraft is utilising Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to manage design, testing, certification and production within an integrated, model-based environment. This approach enables earlier decision-making, reduces risk and significantly shortens development timelines.
The D328eco is Deutsche Aircraft’s next-generation regional aircraft for short- and medium-haul routes. Building on the proven Dornier 328 platform, it combines modern avionics, improved efficiency and the capability to operate using sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The 3DEXPERIENCE platform allows engineering teams to virtually validate system interactions, structural performance and cabin configurations before the first prototype is produced.
Requirements, product data and design changes are managed centrally, improving transparency and supporting compliance with regulatory standards. Industrialisation and subsequent operations also benefit from this digital continuity. Production processes can be planned virtually, material flows optimised, bottlenecks identified at an early stage, and the ramp-up to serial production managed in a structured and efficient manner.
