Attractive white bird taxiing past at Aero India 2021. This is the new civilian Do-228 made at HAL Kanpur. With a view to promote Govt’s UDAN regional connectivity policy, the Hindi title “Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik”, translated as “Let the common citizen of the country fly” is displayed on the nose. The Hindi inscription at the rear translates as “Made in India”, in keeping with the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision of self-reliant India. Intended to carry 19 passengers, the aircraft has an AUW of 6200 kg and is equipped with five-bladed propellers for noise reduction and better performance.
