Check out the new and upgraded Dornier 228 (NG) as RUAG's Regional Sales Director Wolfgang Kofen takes us around the aircraft at the Paris Air Show 2015.
Decreasing the starting amperage by half with lighter props is a big deal, because Garrett engines and cold weather starting doesn't necessarily go together.
Same terrible uncomfortable cockpit same stick from the second World War ! Completely unergonomic ! Glass cockpit... Cool ..a minimum for this price ! Otherwise same ol bus ! Nothing really exciting about it ! But a great plane anyway !
I really hope the Sonora drug cartel appreciate the upgrades on this beauty, its multi-task potential, ecological positive impact, and that they buy a whole fleet of the NGs. In addition, the NG can loiter and with the proper add-ons, readily act as an aerial gunship in those tricky situations - like Culiacan - where the federal army is trying to retake an important transportation city. Nice work Dornier!
I like it and its like the osprey and i can attach the same gun that the apache has and some 1000 pound bombs underneath it and make it a frontline support aircraft. You gust have to add titanium to it so it don't burst from ground fire. I like its sturdy aluminium wings and its cargo capacity. How many 1000 pound bombs can it carry. Does India produce these aircrafts. You give me a 20 million budget on this.

RUAG should also revive the Dornier 328Jet as well.
