Ruag Aviation (Hall4, Stand 41476) is shifting the focus at the Farnborough Airshow 2018 from its support and integration services for civil and military aircraft, and wearing its OEM hat in highlighting the versatility of the Dornier 228 New Generation Multirole twin turboprop STOL platform. As the “New Generation” name implies, this is a modern version of the aircraft initially produced by Germany’s Dornier from 1981 to 1998, and later by Hindustan Aeronautics, before the Swiss company began producing this variant in 2009. Incorporating more than 350 design changes including a new composite five-blade propellers mated with Honeywell TPE331-10 engines, glass cockpit, and customizable sensor packages, it’s the “perfect mix of a mature design and innovative technologies,” according to Ruag.
