The Dornier 128-6 is a high wing aircraft with two propellerturbine-engines and fixed landing gear. It is equipped with a scientific instrumentation which is specialized for meteorological measurements in the lower atmosphere.  The standard instrumentation consists of a nose boom which contains all main meteorological sensors such as temperature, pressure, humidity and airspeed-vector (wind-vector). Additional wind measurement stations are installed at each wingtip and at the vertical stabilizer. The position and attitude of the aircraft is obtained by the Global Position System (GPS) and an inertial laser navigation platform (INS). Specific scientific instrumentation can be installed inside the cabin such as air chemical sensors, meteorological drop sondes or an airborne gravimeter.
