Ruag Touts New-build Do228 Turboprops
Swiss manufacturer breathes new life into a long-successful airframe design.

Switzerland’s Ruag is in Farnborough promoting the entry of its new-production Dornier 228 turboprop to the North American market following the airplane’s March 15 certification by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Changes to the original Do 228, whose original FAA certification dates from 1990, include a new five-blade propeller, an “optimized” engine system, a new glass cockpit and enhanced avionics.
