A description and a short history of the aircraft type, as well as some pictures might be added at a later time.
Additional information and corrections are as usual very welcome.
If you want to look up Dornier Do 28s in the FAA database, you can use the following FAA Codes. The company, Dornier Flugzeugbau GmbH was bought by Fairchild, and is now named Fairchild-Dornier.
FAA Code (299 = Dornier (and Buecker)): --------------------------------------- 2990102 = DO28 A-1 2990202 = DO28 B-1 2991401 = DO 28 D 2991402 = D028D-V3 2991404 = DO 28 D-1 2991405 = DO.28 D-2Back to Index
The next 60 aircraft were built as Do 28B (most as Do 28B-1), which featured a redesigned nose, enlarged tailplane, and an increased wingspan, and used more powerful Lycoming IO-540-A1A5 (215 kW / 294 hp) engines. The first Do 28B-1 flew in April 1963, and series production started in 1964. The Do 28B-2 had turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540 (261 kW / 350 hp) engines for better STOL performance. At least six Do 28s were equipped with EDO floats.

One Bundeswehr Do 28D-2 was modified with turboprops as Do 28D-2T, and flew for the first time in this configuration in March 1980, but no other Bundeswehr aircraft were re-engined. Two Marineflieger (Navy) Do 28D-2 were modified as Do 28D-2/OU (Oil Unit) for Oil Spill Search and Environmental Pollution Control. A Maritime Patrol version with a large radom under the nose/forward fuselage, was never sold and only a prototype was built.
Another Do 128-2 was used as testbed for the Dornier TNT (Tragfluegel Neuer Technologie = New Technology Wing) supercritical wing, and was equipped with two Garrett AiResearch TPE 331-5 turboprops (533 kW / with 715 shp). This layout was later also used on the Do 228, which was originally designated Do 28E-1 (15-seat Do 228-100, c/n 7xxx) and Do 28E-2 (19-seat Do 228-200, c/n 8xxx).
