FAIRCHILD AEROSPACE 328JET/528JET/728JET

When Fairchild Dornier became Fairchild Aerospace, the basic 328 turboprop soon became the 328JET. FADEC Pratt & Whitneys were hung under the wings, the landing gear was strengthened and new Honeywell Primus 2000 EFIS panels were installed in the cockpit. The new airplane was thus brought to market in record time. Fairchild is developing the Envoy, a private jet variant of the 328JET, and the 528JET, a 55- to 63-seat stretch. A larger 728Jet was planned until the company declared bankruptcy in 2002.
