TEST-FUCHS Aerospace Systems GmbH and Deutsche Aircraft proudly announce a significant achievement in the development of the D328eco, a next-generation regional turboprop aircraft. The first prototype components of the aircraft's advanced fuel system have entered the testing phase, including comprehensive trials with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

This milestone marks a pivotal step in this strategic partnership established in September 2023, with a focus on delivering a fuel system that meets the highest standards of performance and environmental responsibility.

"Seeing our prototype components enter the initial testing phase is a proud moment for our team," said Volker Fuchs, Company Owner & Group CEO of TEST-FUCHS. "From the outset, our focus has been on delivering a fuel system that not only meets the highest safety and efficiency standards but also supports the use of SAF from day one."

Nico Neumann, CEO of Deutsche Aircraft, added: "This milestone reflects the strength of our valued partnership with TEST-FUCHS and our shared commitment to sustainable aviation. The D328eco is designed to be future-ready, and the fuel system plays a key role in that vision."

The D328eco programme continues to gain momentum, with the SAF-ready fuel system serving as a cornerstone of its technical innovation. Developed to set new benchmarks in regional aviation, the D328eco is poised to deliver lower emissions, reduced operating costs, and greater operational flexibility — all while supporting the aviation industry's transition to a more sustainable future.
