In my third video, I wanted to share the story of a passenger jet designed by the German-American aircraft company Fairchild Dornier, which I have always found to be fascinating.
The program intended to carry 50-110 passengers across three variants; the 528, 728, and 928 and compete with the likes of the Bombardier CRJ series as well as the Embraer E-Jet family. The plane was scheduled to take its first flight in 2002 and enter service in 2003. The aircraft had amassed 125 firm orders and options for an additional 164 from notable airlines including Lufthansa and Czech Airlines.
Watch my video if you are interested in learning what went south and why, and as always, let me know what you think in the
comments section of the video.
