Fairchild Dornier, the manufacturer of the 728 Family, is an American aircraft and aerospace manufacturing company. The company was founded in 1925 by Sherman Fairchild and was the first American company to produce an aircraft with a fully enclosed cockpit and
hydraulic landing gear. The company primarily produced civilian aircraft until World War II, when Fairchild developed training aircraft, transports, and drones for the U.S. war effort. In addition to aircraft, Fairchild produced a variety of missiles and other defense products for the U.S. military. In 1996, Fairchild acquired Dornier and became Fairchild Dornier. The company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems, an Israeli defense company.
