Intelligent engineering services firm Cyient has bagged a multi-year contract from German aircraft maker Deutsche Aircraft to manage the advanced technical documentation to support the product lifecycle of safety-critical aviation systems for the 40-seater regional turboprop the D328eco.
Cyient AI products will be embedded in the solution that will support Deutsche Aircraft’s global customer base with a modular and scalable architecture, personalised user experience, faster time to market and worldwide access through any device, the Hyderabad-headquartered firm said on Monday (January 20, 2025).
“Excited to strengthen collaboration with Deutsche Aircraft by contributing to another critical milestone for the D328eco aircraft development. Our deep expertise across aircraft systems, software, structure, manufacturing and aftermarket solutions positions us to play a global partner role in the success of the D328eco programme,” Executive Vice Chairman and MD Krishna Bodanapu said.
“We are thrilled to be working with Cyient and the expansion of our partnership represents a strong commitment to India while supporting the Make in India initiative,” said co-CEO of Deutsche Aircraft Nico Neumann said.
In December, highlighting its work in 2024, Deutsche Aircraft had said it is gearing up for the roll-out and first test flight of the D328eco aircraft as well completion of its final assembly line in 2025. It has started construction of the final assembly line, a fully digital, carbon-neutral facility at Leipzig/Halle Airport, where its next-gen aircraft is to be built.
