Introductions:

Riding on the success of the D-01 family, RCP Engineering's Airliner Manufacturing division hired new workers, and opened a new assembly line at Martin South Airport.

But most notably, RCPe decided to expand into the regional sector, beginning work on a new advanced regional airliner that would replace aircraft like the DC-9 and Boeing 717.

By 2001, preliminary design work was completed, and the D-02 was announced at the 2001 Paris Air Show. Major airlines like Air France, Japan Airlines's J-Air and British Airways placed firm orders on the aircraft.

On 7 March 2003, the first functional D-02 prototype, registered WT-XDC, made its first flight from Martin South Airport. In total, 3 prototypes were built, and they flew at the Farnborough and Paris Airshows.
