Deutsche Aircraft and ASE S.p.A. have signed a deal for the AC Primary Power Generation and Distribution Systems for the D328eco, Deutsche Aircraft’s sustainable turboprop regional jet.
Deutsche Aircraft, the German aircraft manufacturer, and Italian aerospace company ASE S.p.A. have announced a new agreement for the AC Primary Power Generation and Distribution Systems for the D328eco, Deutsche Aircraft’s sustainable turboprop regional aircraft. The partnership was unveiled at the Paris Airshow, showcasing their commitment to innovative and environmentally friendly aviation solutions.
The AC electrical system provided by ASE includes two 25 kVA AC generators, two Generator Control Units (GCU), and two Primary Power Distribution Units (PDU). These components form a crucial part of the aircraft’s power generation and distribution system, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
“We’re proud to announce that we’ve been selected as the AC electrical system supplier for Deutsche Aircraft’s new turboprop D328eco the innovative fixed wing civilian aircraft which is designed to have a lower environmental impact, with comfort and efficiency”, said Giuseppe D’Alò, Chief Executive Officer, ASE.
The AC Generators, attached to the propeller gear box, are designed to operate at the appropriate RPM to generate power. Each generator is controlled by a dedicated Generator Control Unit, which manages its performance and output. The power generated by the generators is then distributed through the Primary Power Distribution Units, which supply power to all AC loads via the secondary power distribution system.
“Our AC electrical system will complement the D328eco by being very light, compact and silent. ASE is honored to collaborate with Deutsche Aircraft on such an innovative project. This partnership aligns with our philosophy of care towards the environment and our love for technology”, said Fausto Cosentino, Chief Business Officer, ASE.
The collaboration between Deutsche Aircraft and ASE signifies a shared commitment to developing sustainable aviation solutions. The D328eco aims to deliver lower environmental impact while maintaining passenger comfort and operational efficiency. With ASE’s advanced AC electrical system, the aircraft will benefit from lightweight and efficient power generation and distribution, contributing to its overall performance.
