Main wing

The outstanding wing design is the key element behind the Dornier 228 best-in-class performance:

• The supercritical profile Do A-5 reduces drag by up to 30%, retains good characteristics in icing conditions, and ensures roll control even in full stalls 

• The optimised wing shape keeps secondary drag as low as possible (reduced wing vortex by triangular shape of wing tips) 

• The box type structure and the manufacturing process ensure the highest possible reliability over the life cycle
