In the late 1970s, Dornier GmbH developed a new kind of wing subsidised by the German Government. Dornier tested it on a modified Do 28D-2 Skyservant and with Pratt Whitney Canada PT6A-110 turboprop engines. At ILA 80, Dornier presented the new aircraft in public. The prototypes were flown on 28 March 1981 and 9 May 1981 for the first time.

Over the years Dornier offered the 228 in upgraded variants and with optional equipment for special missions. In 1998 the production line was stopped for better development of the successor Fairchild-Dornier 328.

We used the Dornier 228 as a Class 1 short haul passenger plane. The detailed Gmax model was made by Björn Büchner.
