The spirit of innovation. Developing and building a family of aircraft takes a long-term commitment and an unwavering vision - it‘s not for the faint of heart. Diamond not only has the vision and resources, but an owner who embodies the spirit of innovation. With the passion of an ac- complished pilot, and the vision of a successful entrepreneur, Christian Dries has led Diamond Aircraft‘s growth from building only a single motor glider to offering general aviation‘s most innovative and diverse family of personal and business aircraft. The growth of the Diamond Aircraft family exemplifies his personal commitment to delivering aircraft that pilots want. Industry Leadership. Visionary leadership, coupled with a keen passion for flying, means innovation is ingrained in everything we do. Expanding the bounds of what was thought possible before, Diamond is proud of our long list of aviation firsts: Diamond Aircraft revolutionized the aviation market with being the first to introduce Diesel piston singles and twins The Austro Engine AE300 with 168 hp offers low fuel burn, independence from leaded fuel and low noise emission We developed out of its general aircraft the world’s most economic remote sensing platform - DA42 MPP Guardian The first seven-seat modern composite aircraft World’s first flights with pure bio fuel made from algae with a Diamond DA42 NG equipped with AE300 engines The world’s first serial hybrid electric aircraft, the DA36 E-Star DE-ICING. The DA42 is the only aircraft in this class with a certified de- icing system which allows you to operate the aircraft in any weather and to fly in known icing conditions. OUR SAFETY CELL CABIN. We use all the advantages of the solid composite construc- tion - such as unparalleled strength, stress-resistance, sta- bility, reliability, durability and robustness, and last, but not least, cost-effectiveness - to good use in building extremely safe aircraft. FUEL SYSTEM PROTECTION. The dual spar design and aluminum fuel cells of the DA40 and DA42 protect the fuel like no other airplane that carries fuel in the wing. Many airplanes carry fuel directly behind the leading edge skin of the wing - the implications of an impact in that area are obvious! Diamond Aircraft uses TSO Stainless Steel braided fuel lines throughout the airframe, not just forward of the firewall. They are much stronger than conventional aluminum fuel tubing and allow airframe defor- mation without rupturing. Commitment to Safety. The company’s aircraft are verifiably the safest in their class: the incredible overall accident rate of about just one sixth of the General Aviation average proves it (Source: Aviation Consumer January 2012). Diamond Aircraft offers you ultramodern safety avionics, also used in big airliners, the unique mono cockpit made out of light and at the same time very strong composite materials, known from Formula 1, and an ingenious fuel system protection. We are the world’s largest producer of light twin engine aircrat. SAFETY AVIONICS. Garmin Synthetic Vision (SVT) transforms our cockpit by accurately displaying synthetic terrain, flight hazards, flight path marker and highway-in-the-sky on the PFD. The pilot maintains excellent airborne situational awareness even when flying in conditions of poor visibility or darkness. This results in reduced pilot workload and safer flying. SPECIAL “ROUGH TERRAIN LANDING GEAR”. Bigger wheels on the main and nose landing gears, an increased wheel base, different rims, as well as special reinforcements and tougher structures give you the sa- fety to land almost wherever you want. © DSD Testing Full scale impact testing with instrumented Crash Test Dummies (image above) and unlimited airframe lifetime (image below) DA42-VI Single Engine Service Ceiling: 18,000 ft (5,486 m). LOWEST FUEL CONSUMPTION AND LOWEST EMISSIONS The Austro Engine Jet-A1 aviation piston engine reduces fuel consumption at an equivalent power setting by half when compa- red to a conventional gasoline engine. Diamond Aircraft’s innovative exhaust gas system for the Austro Engine powered DA42 aircraft reduces the noise level by 20db below the official limitations during take-off. Diamond Aircraft goes green. LOWEST NOISE Aviation Gasoline 100LL contains an additive, which develops into lead after burning. Therefore, Diamond Aircraft and Austro Engine invested millions to introduce new engines into aviation, which are both, environmentally friendly and powerful. Compared to conventional gasoline engines, a Diamond Aircraft plane has significantly lower exhaust emissions. DIAMOND AIRCRAFT INDUSTRIES GMBH N. A.
