Deutsche Aircraft wraps up a successful week at the Farnborough International Airshow 2024

Farnborough, 26 July 2024 - Deutsche Aircraft, the German Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), has concluded a successful week at the Farnborough International Airshow. The highlight of this year's event was the unveiling of the first fuselage cut for the inaugural test aircraft for the D328eco™ programme.

The Farnborough International Airshow began on a momentous note for Deutsche Aircraft, as the OEM announced the initiation of the first fuselage cut for the D328eco test aircraft. This significant milestone sets the stage for the test aircraft's maiden flight. With over 95% of suppliers already onboard, the D328eco programme has made remarkable progress over the past four years.

In addition, Deutsche Aircraft welcomed two additional suppliers during the week, that will further strengthen the programme's robust supply chain network. These include SASMOS HET for the design, development and fabrication of the Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) and Triumph for the precooler.

Exclusive “328” Chalet

The prominent presence of Deutsche Aircraft at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow was highlighted by its exclusive location at Chalet 328, a number synonymous with the OEM and its associated aircraft type. The construction of the chalet’s Customer Experience Centre was designed around the placement of the immersive D328eco mock-up, which was presented as a single cabin and cockpit experience.

Bringing the Bavarian spirit to Farnborough

To showcase the D328eco, Deutsche Aircraft also hosted a traditional Bavarian event which has become synonymous with the OEM and their German heritage. This exclusive event offered journalists and industry partners an opportunity to engage with the Deutsche Aircraft team and acquire insights into the aircraft’s latest technologies. Attendees were also treated to an exclusive tour of the cabin and cockpit mock-up, giving them a firsthand look at the D328eco's cutting-edge features.

Anastasija Visnakova, Vice President Sales and Marketing at Deutsche Aircraft remarked: “Our successful participation at the Farnborough Air Show this year underscores our dedication to advancing the D328eco programme and solidifying our position as a leading player in the aviation industry. With major milestones achieved and an expanding network of suppliers and business partners, the future looks promising for Deutsche Aircraft and our innovative aircraft.”

The Deutsche Aircraft team continues to build lasting relationships with important business partners while contributing to the European and global aviation value chain with the D328eco.

- In-service data:
- For 2019 the data is dated April while for 2020 it’s dated October. We wanted to compare “shoulder month” to shoulder month, however April 2020 wouldn’t have captured the immediate impact of Coronavirus as our dataset classes aircraft as in storage after 3 months of inactivity.

DA Latest News in a Nutshell

New talent appointed to strengthen the Deutsche aircraft programme

As part of its continued support of Deutsche Aircraft’s D328eco aircraft programme, 328 Support Services GmbH recently appointed a panel of “talent experts” to further strengthen the overall team and ensure strong management structure and processes are in place across the D328eco development programme. Today we focus on the Engineering & Programme departments.

On the programme side, Mr. Peter Spyrka has been appointed Director of Programmes. Peter brings over 20 years’ experience in the global aerospace industry with engineering & development works on both civil and military aircraft programmes. Prior to joining Deutsche Aircraft, Peter worked at Airbus, leading the Hybrid Electric Propulsion System development programme for demonstrator projects. He also worked for Fairchild Dornier back in the late 1990’s.

In Engineering, Mr. Jean-Damien Mazeau has been appointed as our new Head of Propulsion Systems. Jean-Damien also brings more than 20 years’ aeronautical experience to Deutsche Aircraft, having built most of his career at Airbus. He was most recently involved with the A320neo’s entry into service, in charge of propulsion system’s global technical Support.

Last but not least, Dr. Stefan Brunner brings more than two decades of expertise and experience to his position as Head of Airframe. Throughout his career, Stefan spent more than 17 years working directly for the Airbus group where he was heavily involved with a wide variety of major engineering programmes on both commercial aviation and defence & space programmes. In his new role, Stefan will be responsible for design, analysis and modification of the D328eco airframe’s primary structure (Fuselage, Fairings, Wing, Empennage), as well as establishing new processes and procedures to complete aircraft development. Finally, he is responsible for ensuring compliance with the European Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations.

In addition to Peter, Jean Damien and Stefan, we are also proud to announce that we have been busy hiring new talent from not only within Germany, but from all over the world. Coming from a variety of companies within the aerospace industry, we look forward to utilising our new team members’ skills and expertise to achieve the entry into service scheduled for 2025.

All are great assets to the current Engineering & Programme team and will, without a doubt, help support Deutsche Aircraft’s development programme over the coming years.
