The multi-purpose aircraft was designed by German engineers at the beginning of the 50-ies of the last century, and as a basis for the aircraft manufacturers from the company Dornier-Werke GmbH, the Dornier Do 25 was used, which nevertheless underwent a large number of various changes, And, both in terms of appearance, and in terms of technology. The main goal of the aircraft builders was the need to create a truly multipurpose aircraft, which allows carrying a large number of people on board, or different cargoes that fit in the dimensions of small-sized aircraft.

Despite the relatively large capacity aircraft Dornier Do 27, the aircraft has a quite compact dimensions to provide sufficient and easy operation, and high levels of maneuverability. It is acceptable aerodynamic aircraft Dornier Do 27 design allows the aircraft to develop a sufficiently high speed, which in its essence, and it was one of the reasons for the popularization of the aircraft.
