General Atomics AeroTec Systems (GA-ATS) is progressing on schedule with production of the Do228 NXT, the next-generation version of the proven Do228 aircraft, at its facility in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. Designed for special missions and transport, the Do228 NXT integrates numerous technical upgrades and is expected to be completed within a few months.
To ensure quality and supply chain resilience, most production has been moved in-house or kept within Germany and Europe. Innovations include LED cabin lighting, a new braking system, electric air conditioning, and an upgraded AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference System), along with improvements that reduce weight and costs.
With final assembly underway and modernised manufacturing in place, GA-ATS is positioning the Do228 NXT as a high-performance, mission-ready aircraft for global customers.
