This airplane has inspired me to go to flight school and become a pilot. Oh my gosh. This plane is absolutely beautiful. I love the design. I loved your presentation. Thank you so much for this video. I love it
What's the climb rate? What's the cruising speed? How many feet does it take to land and to get it off the ground? Who manufactures the engines? If you have to jump out of that plane. How are the gullwing doors with parachutes? What about when you ditch it in water? What's the payload?
I am completely impressed with everything about this aircraft except for one point. Why in the world do you make such a wonderful aircraft and not put counter-rotating props on it. Counter-rotating props make the flyability so much easier especially if you lose, in this case the left engine. 2000 nautical miles. Wonderful
I apologize, another point of wanting to make was why you guys decided to go with a forward/minimum swept wing. It's pretty cool to see that you have canards on the end of the wingtips that's gonna save a lot on fuel too.
It's a little misleading calling it a diesel since it implies "diesel" fuel. More accurately it is a JetA compression ignition engine. They are getting tremendous efficiency out of them as well with fuel consumption on par with a single.
Nice looking plane. I sat in one and looked all around it and noticed that there is no baggage room. You'd be hard pressed to bring a gym bag with you. Certainly no room for a carry on sized hard-case bag you see on any commercial flight. Also, at the price, I'd be more apt to buy a used Cessna 501 with the seirra engines. Less money, faster, higher, etc etc. Plus, if you can afford the 1.5mm for the plane... you don't have to worry about the bit extra to operate the jet. Lots of options for faster and higher in this price bracket.
So really beautiful aircraft is amazing to see that Europe is going to the diesel engine power plants and how do US is lacking behind when it comes to small aircraft like that period one of the things that I was kind of trying to figure out is why you guys didn't show or talk about any of the anti-icing features only leading a digital wings. Could you give a little more detail into those systems?
Beautiful and sporty aircraft but you need to keep any unwary passengers locked inside the cabin until the props stop. One slip off the wing stub and you'll have a real mess to explain.
Now all they need to do is fit the aircraft with Opposed Piston 2 Stroke Diesel engines that are lighter, more reliable, more powerful, and more fuel efficient that 4 stroke diesels
I see Cummins is working on one for the US Military (ground vehicles)... pretty tough specs to pull it all off, or it would have been in use for a long time already....
Interesting. I guess I'll have to see them in a wind tunnel because I always thought stuff on top of the wing would disrupt the airflow and deplete lift.
Peach Fuzz - Thanks. I found a youtube video which explains it. Thanks for telling me what they're called, making it easy to find an explanation of how they work. th-cam.com/video/eP-YUDe9HF0/w-d-xo.html
No problem! I just completed ground school for my private license at the beginning of this month. I couldn't recall exactly how the wing vortices worked, so I didn't want to attempt to explain it myself. I just knew it had something to do with altering the airflow characteristics.
I couldn't find anything on that with a quick search. Your best bet would be to call your local flight school and ask them because they should either know or have the resources to find out. Alternatively, you can call your local FAA field office and ask. If I were to give you my best guess, I'd say you likely wouldn't be able to because multi-engine is an additional rating that you get on your pilot's certificate. It's worth it to mention that you _can_ get rated in a multi-engine immediately after getting your pilot's certificate, but it's suggested that you get your high-performance and complex ratings first.
Caravan is not a jet. A Cirrus Vision Jet is a 5+2 seater actual jet at just under 2mill new. At close to twice the speed of this Diamond. Eclipse may have died by they initially aimed for 1 million dollars. I don't know about you but in my world, a million dollars is real money. It should buy more than this glorified piper cub. Diamond themselves also tried to make a million dollar jet.
A cirrus vision which is one of the most affordable pressurized jets you can buy cost 700.000 dollars more than this twin prop which is real money to me and only cruises at 125 kn more. But the real kicker is that the Vision has a dismal range of 600 nmi at max cruise speed compared to the 1,285 nmi of the DA62.
The vision is a pressurized 7 seater and at less than max speed and payload it can do 1200nmi. Suit yourself. I'd rather buy a Pipistrel Panthera at 40% the price using 60% of the fuel and going faster.
That advanced and $1.4M, but counter-rotating props were just too complicated? I mean, it's only 22 years into the 21st century. $1.4M for an aircraft that can't out perform a 25 year old, $400k Piper Seneca except in fuel burn? Nah. Looks cool. But, you can keep it.
Seems unsafe to me. What if those propellers fall of in middle of your flight and as you go forward they get into you, slicing you and your better half, quarter etc?
Mzaphod Bibl Duly noted.[burning sarcasm] My reply,fits your infantile question perfectly. Seriously....what if the propellers fall off? Do some research before asking such a silly question.
Never gonna happen - the Austro is based on a Merc engine. The Merc Engines would you believe - only spin one way. So they will never setup a "DA62 Engine No.2" production facility and line just for that. There is little torque in the DA42 & DA62 compared to a big Turboprop so you're not gaining anything.
The used aircraft market is very soft in early 2018. Why would anyone waste time on this toy when a solid, HS-125-800 can be had for $800,000? If that's too much airplane for the GA enthusiast, post BB1500 BE200s are available for a song. I'll take a properly maintained, 10 year old turbine over a new recip 8 days a week. And so should you.
You can power a plane with a rubber band (the only sort I've flown :-) ). And jet fuel (kerosene) is far from "high octane" but I suppose you're right about diesel being unusual - which could cause problems for refueling. And diesel is supposed to be very polluting.
Diesel engines are too big and heavy to have on a small airplane. Unless this is burning diesel fuel in a nontraditional way. It does not sound like a diesel to me.
Diesel engines are as big or small as you make them and as light or heavy. Clearly this plane is powered by a pair. That said, it is an unusual fuel and you might wonder how many airports that this plane visits will be able to supply it. This wouldn't be a problem if it was a crop duster, but it is supposed to be a business commuter plane and take it's passengers just about everywhere.
It's a 4 piston diesel engine design. They spec JP A-1 fuel for this AE 330, but the earlier version AE 300 was certified as multi-fuel - JP/Kerosene/diesel. The older version has been in the air for years already...
This airplane has inspired me to go to flight school and become a pilot. Oh my gosh. This plane is absolutely beautiful. I love the design. I loved your presentation. Thank you so much for this video. I love it
Absolutely gorgeous paint scheme! I've got 0.5 left seat in the original DA42, and would love love to own one of these!
Me too, after I win the lottery :)
My immediate impression was: "What a great looking plane!" Sounds great as well.
I learned on the Diamond Katana many moons ago and loved the aircraft. Diamond makes a great aircraft!
Thanks. That's a great aircraft with a beautiful design.
I've ordered one.
Bravo Diamond! I'm an instructor on DA42 NG. I hope next on DA62.
René
Where are you based from? I'm looking for flight instruction in the Montreal region. Diamond planes are pretty rare around here.
Lessonator App Quebec city. Visionair flying school. DA20 and DA42 available for training.
+René Boisvert Thanks! Will check this out! It would be nice to add your school to Diamond's list of schools on their site.

Diesel fuel?
Sinfully stunning!!!..... I completely agree 👍👍👍
Hope you enjoy looking at you engines, because they're all you'll ever see.
fuck me id be happy
What a beautiful awesome plane
What's the climb rate? What's the cruising speed? How many feet does it take to land and to get it off the ground? Who manufactures the engines? If you have to jump out of that plane. How are the gullwing doors with parachutes?

2000 nautical miles. Wonderful
The Fadec controls all that immediately if an engine is lost. This is not your fathers twin
Thats not correct it has a range of 1300 nautical miles
Certainly very elegant looking.
Such Beautiful plan ! Look like fighter jet .
I apologize, another point of wanting to make was why you guys decided to go with a forward/minimum swept wing. It's pretty cool to see that you have canards on the end of the wingtips that's gonna save a lot on fuel too.
WOW! Flies on diesel! No more pesky magnetos or spark plugs!
and some FADEC electronics to ruin your day. lol
DA62 looks like an ME 262
It's a little misleading calling it a diesel since it implies "diesel" fuel. More accurately it is a JetA compression ignition engine. They are getting tremendous efficiency out of them as well with fuel consumption on par with a single.
Beautiful bird
Thank you for your assessment, can you please add a link to the aircraft web page in the description?
Looks kind of like a futuristic version of the Cessna 310.
The is is the perfect airplane for me. All I need is money to afford it and a pilots license 😝
Good plane🇩🇿🇩🇿👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Nice looking plane. I sat in one and looked all around it and noticed that there is no baggage room. You'd be hard pressed to bring a gym bag with you.

it has a 5 seat configuration with more room for bags
Its got a large baggage comprtment in the nose and plenty or room in the third row that folds down for cargo.
now thats a fucking awesome looking bird 🐦
this is one good looking plane
That's all I am looking for, a 5 seater!
God bless me I'll get one of those soon.
seems biased, I guess I would be too if I got to fly probably the only one available today
So really beautiful aircraft is amazing to see that Europe is going to the diesel engine power plants and how do US is lacking behind when it comes to small aircraft like that period one of the things that I was kind of trying to figure out is why you guys didn't show or talk about any of the anti-icing features only leading a digital wings. Could you give a little more detail into those systems?
Ok, no top speed rate of climb or service ceiling.
amazing plane. I think it's my notre plane. ..
Is there a wind limitation for Open Doors? Can they be damaged when open and on the ramp in a 35 knot wind?
Beautiful and sporty aircraft but you need to keep any unwary passengers locked inside the cabin until the props stop. One slip off the wing stub and you'll have a real mess to explain.
This is going to be mine............ next aircraft..........!!!!
TURBO DIESEL? Did i hear that correctly?
Turbine engines operate on diesel fuel, as well as other fuels.
Yes, it has turbocharged diesel piston engines that are intended to run on jet fuel.
Damn that looks nice.
beautiful！！
Now all they need to do is fit the aircraft with Opposed Piston 2 Stroke Diesel engines that are lighter, more reliable, more powerful, and more fuel efficient that 4 stroke diesels
Probably can't be done. OP diesel engine is too expensive to tool up and produce at a decent cost.
I see Cummins is working on one for the US Military (ground vehicles)... pretty tough specs to pull it all off, or it would have been in use for a long time already....
Say what's it's starting Price in USD ?
plus comparing this to the Vision Jet which is Better ?
Does it come with a column instead of a stick
like you❤❤❤
I hope this year will fly the DA42...and then da62 :)
A diesel engine this is really good wonder does this use the high or low sulfur diesel
It uses jet a
Wish I could fly such plane ......😣
reminds me of a commercial
whats the glide distance from max altitude?
Great aircraft…..and diesel?! Unreal.
Nice looking airplane! What are those little fin things just behind the leading edges of the wings?
Vortex generators. They're used to modify the airflow over the wing.
Interesting. I guess I'll have to see them in a wind tunnel because I always thought stuff on top of the wing would disrupt the airflow and deplete lift.
Peach Fuzz -

Can a person earn their private pilot's license on an aircraft like this? (USA)
I couldn't find anything on that with a quick search. Your best bet would be to call your local flight school and ask them because they should either know or have the resources to find out. Alternatively, you can call your local FAA field office and ask.

Yes this plane its diamond
Does it can hover
nobody talks about the price tag....
Will it run on chip fat
what a sexy aeroplane
how quiet is the cabin?
They started to manufacture it in china too
That is my next aircraft ))
Price, for türkiye.
Looks like a twin prop Messerschmitt 262
Why ain't the engines symmetrical?
Ok, 2,000nm on 120 gallons diesel at what air speed?
William Biggs 17.2 knots tas
Something like 240 kph
Mach 2
How much? I’ve got like six buck....
Sexy plane!
pretty
Where are the interior layout ...not impressed
It looks nice but it's a slow 4 seater for 1-1.3 million dollars and that's just not a good price. That's pressurized jet territory.
USED. VERY VERY USED. Probably 30 years old at that. 1 million is used Caravan money
Caravan is not a jet. A Cirrus Vision Jet is a 5+2 seater actual jet at just under 2mill new. At close to twice the speed of this Diamond. Eclipse may have died by they initially aimed for 1 million dollars.
I don't know about you but in my world, a million dollars is real money. It should buy more than this glorified piper cub.
Diamond themselves also tried to make a million dollar jet.
Not being a jet was my point

US1.0-1.3 MILLION. not a cheap toy
Hallo billpix, am john from Kenya I wish to fly an aeroplane can u assist God bless u💟💟👍👍👍
icing?
isn't the airflow over the wing blocked by the high elevater in full 3 turn spin ...just kidding

You obviously don't understand science. And your reference is stupid.

What if I stuck my tongue into a light socket?!
need the power
Peter's head-over-hills in love with himself, isn't he!?
personal jet with 2 engine..?
omg

In german "weinen" means "cry"
Change made. Thank you.

yeah. ei/ie - pronounce the second letter's name in english... and don't get them confused when you're using the German verb for "to shoot"...
Dies&Das - Dude j
I don’t have a license but I’m going to get one so I can buy a Diamond
$1.24 Million
Keys879 pocket change
I tried to write a check but they turned me down...
That's how I'm feeling. My first plane is a DA62 :)
21st Century Beagle 206/Bassett
Guten Tag Peter,what is the standard price of this unit ?? and who makes the engines?
Austro Engine (which is a subsidiary/sister of Diamond)
Pilatus PC21 anytime. Sexiest turboprop on Earth.
1:40
'
pretty airplane...
but both same propeller spins are not good idea...
better need opposite spins same as V-22
Never gonna happen - the Austro is based on a Merc engine. The Merc Engines would you believe - only spin one way. So they will never setup a "DA62 Engine No.2" production facility and line just for that.
There is little torque in the DA42 & DA62 compared to a big Turboprop so you're not gaining anything.
I know he didn't say turbo diesels...right?
Yes He did.
Jet fuel is diesel
Jet-A is super pure diesel - you can run it in a truck if you can afford it ;)
Wow I didn't know that about diesel. Thanks. Going to look into it
Wipe the shit out of your ears.
I like ponies.
Did he say that this runs on Diesel fuel?
go look at the wiki for the plane, click through to the engine and read the specs...
Jet-A1 - pretty standard in aviation. Its just that this video is shocking and terminology is not its strong point.
easy to fly, but difficult to get in and out,
Its easy to get in and out of and plenty of room inside.
Where are the important facts? Fuel consumption, air speed, weight, etc.
it's look same about DA42
How many missiles can it carry? Can it dive bomb? :)
The used aircraft market is very soft in early 2018. Why would anyone waste time on this toy when a solid, HS-125-800 can be had for $800,000?

You can't have diesel in an airplane. They take special high octane fuel.
You can power a plane with a rubber band (the only sort I've flown :-) ). And jet fuel (kerosene) is far from "high octane" but I suppose you're right about diesel being unusual - which could cause problems for refueling. And diesel is supposed to be very polluting.
Sure you can. This one is.

lol quality hahaha you mean junk heap falling from the sky hahaha
I'm not worthy to be called that but thank you anyway!
back to kinder garden for you fhhshggheblpppldlccchhee, playing with you cheap looking like they were made in china plastic appliances - DA62s!
