Built as a testbed (TAC 02) in March 2002. Even though 8 customers had placed 125 firm orders and having 164 options, the manufacturing of the Dornier 728 family was never realized due to the insolvency of the manufacturer. As a result, all orders were cancelled. The frame was reportedly sold at an auction for ~€8000, likely by the current owner, which is the Deutsches Technik Museum. The frame was transported by road to Tempelhof in November 2013 and is now stored outside on the airport grounds. Unfortunately the other side of the frame was blocked by a trailer and no clean photo was possible.
