ROLE

The Fairchild-Dornier 328JET is a commuter airliner based upon the turboprop-powered Dornier 328. The 328 was designed and placed into initial production by the German aerospace firm Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH, but in 1996 that firm was acquired by the United States aerospace company Fairchild Aircraft. The resulting corporation, named Fairchild Dornier, continued the production of the 328 family in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.

Due to public perception of noise and reliability issues with turboprops, Fairchild-Dornier developed the turbofan-based 328-300 or 328JET, of which 83 were sold. The aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300 series is a family of turbofan engines developed by Pratt & Whitney Canada specifically for business jet applications. The PW308A has been chosen to power the Scaled Composites White Knight Two, the launch aircraft for Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo.

83 Dornier 328Jet aircraft were sold. The PW308A engines are used on a similar aircraft, the Lockheed-Martin X-55 Composite Cargo Aircraft.
