The Twin Everyone Wants to Beat

Diamond signaled its entry into the twin market with an exciting model, the DA42. This sleek and modern twin carries on the same incredible flying characteristics, speed, and fuel efficiency of the DA40NG. The twin Jet-A sipping diesel engines and full FADEC engine management makes this a dream to fly. The fuel efficiency is incredible in this model, beating many high performance single engine aircraft in the same class. The DA42 burns an incredible 16 gallons per hour total at maximum power, 10 gallons per hour at normal cruise.

Doing all of this, the DA42 wraps it up in a package with high quality interior choices, advanced Garmin G1000 NXI avionics, air conditioning, and more.
