EASY PROGRAMMING The Garmin GCU 476 alphanumeric keypad is an available option in the DA50 RG and makes programming the Garmin G1000 NXi easier than ever. Join us on a video walkaround of the DA50 RG. Page 15 JET-FUEL POWER The DA50 RG is powered by the 300 hp Continental Aerospace Technologies CD-300. The CD-300 is a geared, liquid-cooled, turbo-charged and jet-A1-fueled engine controlled by two redun- dant full FADEC. Pilot workload is lightened using a single lever power control that adjusts thrust and propeller RPM’s automati- cally. The 3 blade MT hydraulic variable pitch propeller features advanced blade geometry with state of the art aerodynamic airfoils for efficient performance, smoothness and low noise. The blades are built in natural composite design which leads to an exceptional vibration damping behavior and reduced weight. The extra benefits of operating a jet fuel powered aircraft are low emissions, low fuel consumption and global availability. PROPULSION ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS We have developed several features for the DA50 RG to ensure the best flight performance, such as specially designed hinged double slotted flaps for high lift and superior slow speed behavior as well as many drag reduction features. State-of-the- art brakes and wheels ensure the highest performance with minimum landing distance. “Continental’s CD-300 engine

and valuable partnership with Diamond on the DA50 RG reinforces the global demand for jet-fueled piston aircraft in general aviation.” Robert Stoppek, President & CEO of Continental Aerospace Technologies™ Page 17 DIAMOND GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND! AEROKURIER INNOVATION AWARD The aerokurier Innovation Award is a coveted award for all gen- eral aviation manufacturers where readers vote for the best prod- ucts in different categories. Diamond Aircraft is honored to have received the 2020 Aerokurier Innovation Award for our DA50 RG, as the best new aircraft. DA50 RG EXTERIOR DESIGN COMPETITION On 15 May 2019 Diamond started a one of a kind contest for every aviation enthusiast: Designing the exterior paint scheme of an aircraft. Diamond gave the #DiamondAircraftFamily the chance to engage even closer with the company and was calling for exterior paint scheme design proposals for the DA50 RG demonstrator. Over a period of three months, Diamond received an unbeliev- able number of well thought out designs. From bird’s and racing designs to embracing the Diamond jewel theme. Some even accompanied with the story and intension behind the designs, that made the jury speechless. Given that, it was not easy at all to choose the winners (see left page): 1st place went to Kirk Smith (below). His design proposal was later implemented on the DA50 RG demonstrator. 2nd place went to Christian Jacobs (top left) and 3rd place to Michel Minne (top right). “We are proud that our DA50 RG has been voted best new aircraft by the aerokurier readers. Thank you to each and everyone for your votes and the passion shared for our aircraft. I’d like to express my gratitude to the whole DA50 team – for their expertise and commitment.
