Deutsche Aircraft

A visual design model developed alongside engineering to make the evolving D328eco visible and easier to evaluate years before the aircraft is finalized.

The opportunity

Make each design decision visible before the aircraft existed.

The D328eco was still being engineered. The team needed a clear way to see the emerging aircraft, review changes, compare directions and understand how the new brand would appear on the complete aircraft long before the final product was available.

Building the model

A visual reference that evolved with the aircraft.

Working from fuselage data and direction from engineering, the sketches established key proportions and details before the aircraft was built in 3D. As technical changes were introduced, the model was updated so each option could be reviewed in a realistic context.

Livery and brand development

Testing the new identity on the complete aircraft.

The 3D model made it possible to design and compare livery options, study how color and graphics followed the fuselage, and evaluate the new Deutsche Aircraft branding from different angles before physical application.

Cabin configurations

Visualizing different roles for the same platform.

Passenger and medical cabin configurations were designed and visualized to show how the aircraft could support different operating needs. The images made it easier to compare layouts, communicate scenarios and review the experience inside the aircraft.

Development in motion

One evolving model, many design decisions.
