Diamond Aircraft Models and Key Features

Diamond’s aircraft family includes several models, each with unique advantages. Below is an overview of all the major Diamond models, with top specifications and highlights of each:

Diamond DA20

A two-seat single-engine trainer and personal aircraft, ideal for flight schools and recreational pilots. The DA20 (often called Katana in earlier variants) is extremely fuel-efficient, burning as little as ~3 gallons per hour, and offers a range of up to ~703 nautical miles on a full tank. Its light weight and sporty handling make it perfect for primary training, while still being capable of cruising around 120 knots. The DA20’s modern design and reliability have made it a staple in many training fleets.

Diamond DA40

A four-seat, single-engine piston aircraft prized for its versatility and advanced technology. The DA40 Diamond Star is a popular choice for personal travel and flight training alike, offering roomy seating for four and excellent visibility. With cruise speeds around 150 knots and a maximum range in the ~930 nm class, the DA40 is efficient on cross-country flights. Newer DA40 NG versions come with an Austro turbo-diesel engine running on Jet-A fuel, giving superb fuel economy (on the order of 5–9 gallons per hour in cruise) and the latest Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite. The DA40’s blend of fuel efficiency, speed, and modern safety features (such as energy-absorbing carbon fiber construction) has earned it a reputation as one of the best all-round traveling aircraft in its category.

Diamond DA42

A four-seat twin-engine aircraft that delivers unparalleled efficiency and safety in light-twin flying. The DA42 Twin Star was Diamond’s first twin and the first in its class to utilize diesel jet-fuel engines. Powered by twin Austro engines, the DA42 offers multi-engine redundancy with extremely low fuel burn – roughly 10–12 gallons per hour total at cruise settings, which is far lower than traditional avgas twins. It can cruise at speeds up to ~175–180 knots (up to ~197 knots max) and has a range of approximately 1,200+ nm on long trips, making it capable of serious cross-country missions. The Twin Star’s handling and modern glass cockpit make it popular for both personal travel and as a multi-engine trainer for advanced flight training (IFR and commercial multi-engine training). With its diesel engines, operators appreciate the ease of single-lever engine management and the ability to fuel with widely available Jet-A. The DA42’s introduction was a game-changer, proving that a light twin could be both fuel-efficient and high-performance.

Diamond DA50 RG

A new five-seat, single-engine retractable-gear airplane that raises the bar for luxury and performance in a piston aircraft. The DA50 RG features a 300 hp Continental CD-300 turbo-diesel engine (Jet-A fuel) and a sleek carbon-composite airframe, providing a spacious cabin and exceptional range for a single-engine piston. With its retractable gear and powerful engine, the DA50 cruises as fast as ~180 knots and can travel up to ~750 nm on a tank. It has a service ceiling around 20,000 ft and offers strong climb performance, making it suitable for high-density-altitude operations. Inside, the DA50 boasts premium comforts: seating for up to 5 adults with club-style seating and large gull-wing doors for easy access. A fully integrated Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite and advanced safety features come standard, reflecting Diamond’s focus on modern technology. The DA50 RG is positioned as Diamond’s answer to high-performance singles like the Cirrus SR22, but with the added benefits of Jet-A fuel efficiency and Diamond’s renowned safety-oriented design. The DA50 RG received FAA certification in 2023 and is the latest addition to the Diamond family, now available through LifeStyle Aviation.

Diamond DA62

The flagship of the Diamond lineup, the DA62 is a twin-engine, seven-seat luxury piston aircraft. Often described as an “SUV of the skies,” the DA62 offers an impressive combination of space, performance, and efficiency for family or business travelers. It features two Austro AE330 diesel engines (180 hp each) with single-lever power controls, allowing a cruise speed around 190 knots and a maximum range of approximately 1,280–1,300 nautical miles. With up to 7 seats in a three-row configuration (five seats standard in the European version, or a 7-seat option in the U.S., the DA62 provides ample room for passengers and baggage. The cabin is outfitted with premium materials, adjustable seating, and modern amenities (such as optional air conditioning), giving passengers comfort comparable to light turboprops. Despite its size, the DA62 is efficient, consuming only about 11–12 gallons per hour in cruise (both engines combined), thanks to aerodynamic refinements and the efficient Jet-A powerplants. Like all Diamond aircraft, the DA62 comes with a Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck and has numerous safety redundancies (structural, system, and propulsion) built-in. The result is a twin that offers the speed and range of much heavier aircraft while remaining exceptionally easy to fly and economical to operate.
