Fairchild Dornier 928

Airliners and Commercial Jet Aircraft

The Fairchild Dornier 928 was the stretched regional jet of the 728 family, planned to carry 95 to 110 passengers, with first flight scheduled for late 2003 and service entry in 2005. It was not a simple stretch of the 728. Its fuselage gained four frame bays ahead of the wing and three behind it, and it had a larger wing and two more powerful General Electric CF34-10 engines. A 928-100 and a higher weight 928-200 were planned, and a corporate version was to be sold as the Envoy 9. The insolvency of Fairchild Dornier in April 2002 ended the programme before any aircraft flew.
