Dornier DO-328
The Dornier Do-328 is a high-performance twin-engine turboprop aircraft that blends versatility, efficiency, and comfort. Designed for short and medium-haul flights, the Dornier Do-328 offers a spacious cabin, impressive speed, and advanced engineering, making it a standout choice for private charters. Its ability to operate on short runways and its exceptional reliability ensure seamless travel, whether to remote destinations or bustling metropolitan areas.
Performance Capabilities
The Dornier Do-328 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW119B turboprop engines, delivering robust performance and efficiency. It achieves a cruising speed of 335 knots (386 mph), making it one of the fastest aircraft in its category. The Dornier Do-328 offers a maximum range of 1,000 nautical miles, allowing it to connect regional airports or traverse medium-haul routes with ease.
One of its most notable attributes is its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability, requiring as little as 3,000 feet of runway, which enables access to smaller, less developed airports. Its high rate of climb and ability to operate at a maximum altitude of 31,000 feet ensure smooth flights, even over challenging terrain or adverse weather conditions.
Interior and Comfort
The Dornier Do-328 boasts one of the largest cabins in its class, providing exceptional space and comfort for passengers. With cabin dimensions of 10.6 feet in width, 6.1 feet in height, and 34.0 feet in length, it offers a stand-up cabin that rivals many larger jets.
The Dornier Do-328 can accommodate up to 32 passengers in a standard configuration, but for private charters, the cabin can be customized to feature fewer seats with enhanced luxury. Plush leather seating, adjustable recline options, and spacious legroom ensure a first-class travel experience.
Additional features such as large windows for natural light, soundproofing for a quieter cabin, and optional in-flight entertainment systems create a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. The aircraft also includes a generous baggage compartment, capable of carrying personal belongings, business equipment, or recreational gear.
