This is not a 328. The turboprop versions are 318.

@phenoix75 That is not correct. The 328 is a turboprop. There is a 328 Jet that you might be thinking of. I don't know why they didn't use a different number, but they didn't. Do a search on the web and you'll see pictures for both.

the nose of this aircraft is cool looking

@xoio well it all depends. Altitude and intended speedrange for instance makes a difference. Low and slower a turboprop is likely to be less thirsty etc..

@detachedmind the prop is a 328-100 and the Jet is called the 328-300 or something like that.

Here's a question about Turbo props v jets.

T-props are suposedly more fuel efficient than jets. Which you'd think would mean 'slower, but more mileage'.

The Dornier 328 exists in both Jet and T-prop versions. The Jet is the same in every respect, fuel capacity being only slightly more. Yet it of course flies, faster & higher, but also a LOT further, on practically the SAME amount of fuel than the T-prop version. Thus begging the question. How can a T-prop be in any way better than a jet?
