The Fairchild Dornier 528 was the smallest member of the 728 family of regional jets that Fairchild Dornier planned in the late 1990s, launched alongside the 728 and 928 at the ILA Berlin show on 19 May 1998. It was to seat 55 to 65 passengers and use a fuselage shortened to 23.38 metres, with the wing of the 728. Fairchild Dornier proposed a corporate version under the name Envoy 5. The 528 drew little interest from airlines and was quietly dropped from the family plan, and the whole programme stopped when the company became insolvent in April 2002, so no 528 was ever built or flown.
