Triumph Group and German OEM Deutsche Aircraft confirmed at the 2025 Paris Airshow that Triumph’s Cable Control Systems Division in Heiligenhaus, Germany, will design, manufacture and support the Gust Lock system for the D328eco.

This builds on a previous collaboration announced at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow, when Triumph was selected to develop and manufacture the aircraft’s engine precooler system. With the D328eco now moving from development into industrialisation, Triumph’s continued role reflects the importance of the partnership in supporting this next-generation regional turboprop.

Powered by Pratt & Whitney PS127XT-S engines, the 40-seater D328eco is designed to run on 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel, including zero-aromatic Power-to-Liquids fuel.

Justin Wolfanger, president of Triumph Systems, Electronics and Controls, said: “The D328eco represents a step forward with sustainable fuel and a greener future in aerospace. We are increasingly engaged in the development of new thermal solutions and cable control systems to support the sustainable future of flight. Alongside Deutsche Aircraft and our other partners, the future is looking greener.”

Deutsche Aircraft CEO Nico Neumann added: “Our continued collaboration with Triumph reflects the strength of our partnership and their proven expertise in delivering high-performance systems. As we advance the D328eco programme, having trusted partners like Triumph is essential to achieving our performance goals and operational excellence.”
