Crane Aerospace & Electronics, a segment of Crane Co., has been selected by German original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Deutsche Aircraft, to supply the proximity sensing system for its 40-seater regional turboprop aircraft, the D328eco. This decision comes several months after Crane A&E was chosen to provide the brake control system for the same aircraft.
For 60 years, Crane A&E has provided aircraft manufacturers with reliable proximity sensing components and systems for high-reliability position sensing of aircraft mechanical systems. More than 30 years ago, Crane was selected to provide a similar proximity sensing system for the D328 turboprop, Building on this successful partnership. Crane A&E will introduce its latest proximity sensing interface on the D328eco, offering Deutsche Aircraft a low-risk solution.
“We are pleased to be working with Deutsche Aircraft and look forward to supplying the D328eco with our latest proximity sensing solution,” remarked Joseph Mundinger, Crane Aerospace & Electronics VP/GM, Sensing & Power Systems. “Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to providing the D328eco with a premier system that will benefit Deutsche Aircraft’s customers.”
