Regional Turboprop platform at the Farnborough International Airshow

Senior plc ("Senior"), an international manufacturer of high technology

contract by the German original equipment manufacturer Deutsche Aircraft GmbH
("Deutsche Aircraft") for the design, development and manufacture of the Bleed

 The Senior Aerospace EBU system will interface between the PW127XT‑S
engines and the aircraft.

The D328eco will be the most advanced, energy efficient and cost-effective new
40-seater regional turboprop making it a new benchmark in aviation.  Based on
the D328(®) turboprop aircraft, it will have advanced flight deck
capabilities, a SAF-compatible airframe, and highly efficient engines.

The D238eco's reduced carbon footprint demonstrates that Senior and Deutsche
Aircraft have an important role to play in the decarbonisation of the
aerospace industry, with both businesses committed to achieving Net Zero
sustainability goals.  Senior has been given an "A" rating by CDP for its
2022 and 2023 work on climate disclosure / action and has also received an "A"
rating for Supplier Engagement in 2022 and 2023.  Deutsche Aircraft is
designing the first 100% carbon neutral aircraft Final Assembly Line in the
industry.

Design is being undertaken at the Senior Aerospace SSP facility in Burbank,
California, USA while manufacturing of the system will be undertaken at the
Senior Aerospace Bird Bellows facility in Congleton, Cheshire, UK.  Deutsche
Aircraft's production of the D328eco aircraft will take place at Leipzig /
Halle Airport, Germany.
