en.Wedoany.com Reported - German aircraft company Deutsche Aircraft (based in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) has signed a long-term industrial cooperation and supply agreement with Hexcel (based in Stamford, Connecticut, USA), focusing on providing advanced composite material solutions for the D328eco. The D328eco is a next-generation regional turboprop aircraft designed, certified, and industrialized in Europe.

Deutsche Aircraft and Hexcel shake hands on the signed agreement.

The agreement was officially signed at the ILA Berlin Air Show. Under the agreement, Hexcel will work closely with Deutsche Aircraft to integrate advanced composite material solutions into the D328eco airframe. These materials are designed to meet stringent mechanical performance, weight, and environmental requirements to support the aircraft's performance and sustainability goals. The composite solutions will be applied to both primary and secondary structures, with high demands for weight reduction, durability, and fatigue resistance.

The D328eco is a modernized evolution of the Dornier 328 turboprop aircraft, integrating a new propulsion system, state-of-the-art avionics, and an optimized aircraft structure aimed at reducing environmental impact and lifecycle emissions. The collaboration between Deutsche Aircraft and Hexcel helps meet certification compliance, industrialization readiness, and long-term maintainability requirements.

In 2025, Aernnova was confirmed to supply composite tail components for the D328eco.
