Hutchinson, a global leader in advanced insulation and composite systems, has been selected by Deutsche Aircraft to design, develop, manufacture, and supply the Primary Insulation and Low-Pressure Air Ducting System for the next-generation D328eco regional turboprop.

This strategic partnership highlights Hutchinson’s commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that enhance aircraft performance and environmental responsibility. With decades of experience in aerospace applications—including antivibration, sealing, fluid management, and lightweight materials—Hutchinson is uniquely positioned to support the D328eco programme with best-in-class technologies.

The D328eco, developed by Deutsche Aircraft, represents a new benchmark in regional aviation. Hutchinson’s ultra-lightweight insulation and air ducting systems will contribute significantly to the aircraft’s efficiency, reduced emissions, and operational competitiveness.

“Partnering with Hutchinson is a natural fit for the D328eco programme,” said Nico Neumann, CEO of Deutsche Aircraft. “Their expertise in lightweight insulation and air ducting systems directly supports our mission to deliver a next-generation regional aircraft with improved cabin noise that is both efficient and environmentally responsible. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to innovation and sustainability in every aspect of the D328eco’s design.”

“We are honoured to collaborate with Deutsche Aircraft on this forward-looking programme,” said Nicolas Orance, Executive Vice President, Aerospace at Hutchinson. “Our advanced insulation and air management technologies are designed to meet the highest standards of performance and sustainability, and we are proud to contribute to the D328eco’s success as a benchmark for the future of regional aviation.”

This collaboration, announced after the Paris Air Show, marks a significant milestone in the aerospace industry’s transition toward greener technologies. Hutchinson’s role in the D328eco programme reinforces its leadership in engineering excellence and its vision for a more sustainable future in aviation.
