RUAG (Dornier) Do 228
Компания "Dornier" присвоила обозначения Do 128-2 и Do 128-6 вариантам, ранее известным как Do 28D-2 и Do 28D-6, но на стадии проектирования эти варианты обозначались Do 28E-1 и Do 28E-2. В ноябре 1979 года обозначение ДальшеMore>>>
изменили вновь - на Dornier 228-100 и 228-200; самолеты отличались друг от друга только длиной фюзеляжа и полетной массой.
Dornier 228-100 при том же сечении фюзеляжа, что и Skyservant, способен перевозить до 15 пассажиров, а более длинный 228-100 рассчитан на перевозку 19 пассажиров.
Прототипы двух вариантов выполнили первые полеты 28 марта и 9 мая 1981 года, соответственно, поставки заказчикам начаты в 1982 году. Самолет оказался эффективным и экономичным.
Индийский концерн HAL приобрел лицензию на сборку и производство таких самолетов. После поставки компанией "Dornier" восьми Do 228-201 (три для береговой охраны и пять для авиакомпании) началась сборка самолетов HAL; первая машина индийской сборки поднялась в воздух 31 января 1986 года. Береговая охрана Индии получила первый из 36 заказанных Do 228-201 в июле того же года. В дальнейшем 43 самолета были поставлены ВВС Индии и 30 - индийским ВМС.
Один Do 228-201 проходил оценочные испытания в германских ВМС и ВВС. ВМС ФРГ закупили четыре Do 228, два - в морском патрульном варианте (поступили в MFG 3) и два - в варианте общего назначения.
Военные Do 228 закупили Финляндия (Пограничная охрана), Сухопутные войска Италии и Малави (три 228-201 и один Do 228-202), Нигерия (один транспортный Do 228-100 и два Do 228-200 в VIP-варианте), полиция Омана (два Do 228-100) и ВМС Таиланда.
В 1996 году Do 228 стал совместным германо-голландским самолетом. Серийное производство этих машин завершили в 1998 году, на заводе "Dornier" в Оберпфаффенхофене на юге Германии построено примерно 270 Do 228.
Права на самолет были куплены швейцарской компанией "RUAG", которая разработала новый Do 228NG с пятилопастными винтами и новым БРЭО. Часть комплектующих для Do 228NG поставляет индийский концерн HAL, окончательная сборка ведется в Оберпфаффенхофене.
Первый Do 228NG выполнил первый полет в 2009 году, первый серийный самолет поставлен заказчику из Японии в сентябре 2010 года. Do 228NG закупили правительство Германии, норвежская "Lufttransport AS" и ВМС Бангладеш.

Guernsey-based Aurigny Air Services recently took delivery of a new-build Dornier 228NG, supplementing two second-hand Do 228-202Ks that entered service last year. The three aircraft will replace Aurigny’s ageing Britten Norman Trislanders, the last of which is scheduled for retirement in April 2016. Dornier 228-212NG G-OAUR was delivered from RUAG’s plant at Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, via Southampton to Guernsey on December 14, 2015.

The aircraft was handed over at the company's plant at Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, to the Norwegian special purpose carrier Lufttransport AS based in Tromso. It already operates two Do 228-200s, providing cargo and passenger services for mining companies in the Arctic regions of Norway and to the island of Spitzbergen. The aircraft (c/n 8301) is the second RUAG Do 228NG delivered, the first going to Central Aviation of Japan.
The Do 228’s size, short take-off/landing (STOL) performance and hot and high capabilities make it well-suited for niche markets, such as here in Venezuela.
