The Diamond DA50 RG, a single-engine composite aircraft by Austrian manufacturer Diamond Aircraft Industries, has been operational since 2007. It received its European certification in 2020 and US certification in 2023. Despite the lengthy development process, the aircraft distinguishes itself from competitors like Cirrus and Cessna with several notable features.
The DA50 RG employs all-composite construction, a method increasingly common in aviation for reducing weight and enhancing performance. Composites offer advantages over traditional materials like aluminum by being lighter and more resistant to wear.
This aircraft also boasts advanced avionics systems, including a Garmin G1000 NXi Avionics suite with high-definition displays, full autopilot controls, and an Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP) system as standard. Optional features include an on-board oxygen system, electric-powered air conditioning, and TKS de-icing system.
