U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corporation owns the full intellectual property rights for the Dornier 328.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program envisaged the eventual production of four models of the aircraft \u2014 a jet (TRJ328) and a turboprop (TR328) with 32 seats, and a jet (TRJ628) and a turboprop (TR628) with 60 to 70 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esen System Integration, the Turkish affiliate of Sierra Nevada, who would have developed and built the TRJet, aimed at only selling 500 to 1,000 TRJ328 aircraft. Similar sales numbers were projected for the TRJ628.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sierra Nevada has inked a memorandum of understanding with Ankara-based STM \u2014 a state-controlled defense technologies company \u2014 for joint work on the regional jet program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry sources say the termination of the TRJet program is bad news for the local industry as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a
