In February 1997 Fairchild Dornier launched a programme to develop a corporate derivative of its DO-328-120 twin turboprop regional airliner. The Envoy 3 shares its airframe structure and avionics, but is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW 306B axial-centrifugal flow turbofan engines rated at 6,050 lbs. of thrust each.
