DA50 RG: Redefining High-Performance Aviation

Diamond Aircraft introduces the DA50 RG, the latest evolution of their vision for modern composite construction and advanced design technologies. This single-engine piston aircraft, fully made of carbon composite with specific areas out of glass fiber composite, is designed to meet the increasing demand for a premium high-performance aircraft. With retractable gear, a twin turbocharged jet-fueled 300HP engine, and state-of-the-art avionics, the DA50 RG takes modern general aviation to another level.

The sleek all carbon composite airframe incorporates advanced aerodynamics with the latest in passive safety technology for high performance. The DA50 RG is a spacious, eco-friendly, and luxurious aircraft, offering unmatched capacity and comfort for pilots and passengers.

The aircraft is fully made of carbon composite with specific areas out of glass fiber composite to optimize the design with a sophisticated jet-fuel engine. Besides aluminum alloy, for e.g. landing gear structure, also modern 3D-print materials are used. The glass cockpit consists of state-of-the-art Garmin avionics.
