Deutsche Aircraft has reached a key milestone in the development of the next-generation D328eco regional turboprop. This announcement was made by TEST-FUCHS Aerospace Systems GmbH and Deutsche Aircraft.

Fuel System

The announcement was about the development of the first prototype components of the aircraft’s advanced fuel system, as it has entered the testing phase. This included an initial trial using sustainable aviation fuel, designed to assess system compatibility. This achievement marks a pivotal step in the partnership, established in September 2023, which aims to deliver a fuel system designed to meet high-performance standards and reduce environmental impact. Volker Fuchs, owner and group chief executive officer of TEST-FUCHS, praised the progress:

“Seeing our prototype components enter the initial testing phase is a proud moment for our team. 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.”

Importance of Fuel System

Nico Neumann, chief executive officer at Deutsche Aircraft, also commented on this achievement and its importance to the aircraft. Neumann said:

“This milestone reflects the strength of our valued partnership with TEST-FUCHS and our shared commitment to sustainable aviation.”

The fuel system plays a key role in the future of the D328eco. It stores, manages, and delivers fuel to the engines under all flight conditions. To ensure efficiency and reliability, it must maintain correct pressure, flow rate, and temperature. 

The D328eco is designed to be fully compatible with 100% sustainable aviation fuel, including emerging power-to-liquid fuels. This means it requires a highly specialised fuel system that is capable of handling the different chemical properties of SAF compared to conventional Jet A-1 fuel, such as viscosity, temperature behaviour, and material compatibility. Failures in the fuel system might lead to risks such as engine shutdown, fire, and fuel starvation.
