U.Ballay - Difficilties ahead for Dasa?
The second EFA development aircraft DA2 pictured at British Aerospace, Warton in August 1992. Germany's withdrawal from the project means Dasa is increasingly becoming a commercially-orientated industrial organisation.
One of the hoped-for successes in the Dasa stable is the Dornier 328 regional airliner. D-CATI in Horizon Air colours is the second pre-production aircraft and this was joined on October 20, 1992 by the third 328 to fly, D-CDOL.
Dasa is involved with the joint German-US X-31 extreme manoeuvrability aircraft programme.
