[@josh885]

Diamond really needs a model above the DA62 with the DA50RG engines so it can hit at least 200kts and ideally a pressurized cabin.

[@moviefalk177]

So true

[@_purge9488]

Yea the 20K ceiling made me laugh knowing that it’s depressurized lol

[@petkuscinta9797]

I was just wondering if CD300 Turbo is superior to other non-Continental engines. I really like the DA50 RG but are two Aestro motors safer than one CD300?

[@ivanramiroalmaralesvargas5265]

Very nice informations thank you!!!

[@BlackPantherStudios]

South Africa aviation would be a wonderful sight to see. Great video

Estes aviões da Diamond me fascinam! Já ouvi pilotos experientes dizerem, que os bimotores desta marca são superlativamente eficientes, econômicos e seguros. Só me falta a grana pra adquirir um destes! Um da linha dos monomotores já seria um luxo sem tamanho pra mim. Sonhar não paga imposto né! ☺️

[@albertvonschultz9137]

I have been thinking about buying the da40 and also the da62

[@huto9606]

Für mich das beste Flugzeug in dieser Klasse. Das Unternehmen ist langsam von Jahr zu Jahr gewachsten. Alle gewonnen Erkenntnisse wurden in der nächsten Generation von Flugzeugen berücksichtigt. Nur so ist ein Erfolg und eine Weiterentwicklung möglich. Das stetig wachsende bring dich zu einer guten Ernte.

[@abhiyudaysrivastav3683]

[@richardgripe5888]

Looking for 300hp. per side and 200kt cruise, maybe pressurized

[@emilioalvarez9059]

me encanta

[@chutorosushi1925]

Beautiful diamond aircraft and design.hope the prices and come down abit to let more people able to own this plane

[@AviationFederation]

Indeed! That would be amazing.

[@Tinker1950]

Which 'plane' - five were mentioned

[@ShinLeeChan]

The DA62 isn't too costly if you think all the features it has. And it comes with 2 engines just in case. :) DA42 is the top for those who can't afford 1.2M+, it has also low maintenance and consumption.

[@heaye]

Which have pressured cabin ?

[@manuelpavoarce]

Me encanta , que aviones tan buenos, como me gustaría aprender con practica a pilotar uno de esos fantásticos aviones. El problema es económico. Además tendria que aprender empezando por lo mas fácil . como un párvulo. No la gramática. empezando con un simulador de vuelo. claro. ingles partiendo de cero. No empezando por la Gramática

[@djehanprabowo2495]

12345 good diamond aircraft 👍😁

[@hungrysurfer9471]

DA62 can have longer range tanks fitted.

[@debbies3763]

BEAUTYFUL AND THE RANGE IS GREAT 4 PASSANGER BUT A BIT UNDERPOWERED , LANCEAIR OR GLASAIR ARE FLYING AT 300MPH EVEN AN OLD MOONEY FLYS OVER 200MPH TRIPS IN THESE SMALL FIBERGLASS ROCKETS SHOULD QUICK.

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

model number 3 is good.

[@Karim-en9on]

Ok nice

[@user-ud3mt6ix1h]

👍👍👍

[@ShinLeeChan]

Loved these aircrafts till Chinese became the owner! They still need more power 'cause engines are underpower but safe.

[@sosochio4374]

The Chinese owner produces millions of vehicle wheels and rims annually and is the OEM for many automakers worldwide. I would suggest you throw your car's wheels away if you really don't like the Chinese owner and maybe throw your wife's car's wheels or even your parents' because those wheels probably came from that Chinese owner. Be a grown-up, don't say things that are stupid.

[@deepg7084]

It's a deal breaker for me.

[@stanislawfaron7810]

[@gurbinderkaur6548]

[@drampadreg1386]

24 gallons of fuel for a plane doing 150 knots or so these days is not fuel efficient, 13 is. I've seen on 10 GPH@ 184 Kts as well, it was a Lancair.

[@wesleyhall2719]

I believe that was total fuel capacity

[@dirkschwartz1689]

@@wesleyhall2719 Indeed. They misleadingly say "uses up to" but they give the numbers for total max. fuel on board for each aircraft.

[@ezequielrussian392]

Rating all models of diamond : I have worked on da 40 all the way to 62 and I got to say innovation wise they are there new technology they are there but in my opinion they are aircraft that are too expensive for what they offer . First no one bigger than 5'7 can sit comfortably in any model . Second , as far as durability and maintenance these planes have to be extensively inspected where no diamond service center has a good maintenance team that practices good maintenance that is why I left and I choose not to work these airframes. Third, still in maintenance the manuals are free but alot of the times are missing alot of information and you have to call diamond support. Also parts can't be stocked perhaps and or as an example as a shop to stock parts that usually break you have to order on a need basis I don't know if this has changed I hope so . Fourthly , based on these points I consider diamond aircraft too expensive with parts , planes as what they offer you can easily buy a twin turbo prop with that type price tag with a sacrifice of burning more fuel and being more comfortable .

[@gq12o]

Thanks for your insight. What would you purchase?

[@AviationFederation]

That's absolutely great input. Thanks for sharing!

[@renard8137]

And to add: Diamond Aircraft Industries is owned by China; a partner off Russia. These aircrafts are manufactured in Austria, a country stating neutrality in the barbaric unlawful war against Ukrainian sovereignty.

[@ezequielrussian392]

@@gq12o it actually depends for what I need it for. aircraft are not the type of vehecles that if you cannot afford you must have . To me they require two simple things time and money . Having said that just on the safekeeping of picking an aircraft for purchase I would pick a beechcraft bonanza it is roomy for 4 people and luggage yes you burn more gas but you are more comfortable .

[@cpe1704tks.]

Question. What is the significance of naming it a "62?" What is the hidden connection?

[@5CGQ]

6 seats, 2 engines.

[@antoniog9814]

@@5CGQ So the DA50 is 5 seats, 0 engines?

[@5CGQ]

@@antoniog9814 Sounds about right.

[@jay_b..]

@@5CGQ Its got 7 seats and 2 engines. The model numbers do not correlate exactly. The zero means single engine and the 2 means twin engine. The first digit is the sequence in the range starting with 4. So DA40 is the start of the range and has a single engine and DA62 is the top of the range and has 2 engines.

[@Boris_Chang]

If you add six to two, you can count that number of measures going backwards into Helter Skelter to hear John say: “I buried Paul again”.

[@HappymanRH]

😊

[@degraham9198]

Reckon you could fly that on one engine if you had to? I guess it would vary with payload. No cheesecake for Deanna, boo hiss.

[@matthewbrinker6615]

My comment is for all of them. Too damn expensive and China holdings. Never going to get one now even if I ever get the money for one. I get afford aviation anymore.

[@tdgdbs1]

Fuel burn and fuel capacity are two different metrics.

[@AviationFederation]

You're absolutely right. Fuel burn and fuel capacity are indeed two distinct metrics when it comes to aircraft. Both metrics are important considerations for flight planning and operational efficiency.

[@OMA254]

Lots of inaccuracies! In the pictures and the facts.

[@themrjim1953]

where are the prices ????

[@FelixSamulevich]

One word is not mentioned if it have right for PARACHUTE implanted Last one if not to notice so taile have to be longer

[@AviationFederation]

If we understood your comment correctly, yes, the inclusion of a BRS is included in the aircraft certification. It adds an extra layer of reassurance during flights. Are there specific aircraft models with parachute systems that you find particularly interesting?

[@FelixSamulevich]

@@AviationFederation I believe so presentation of simulation of using of safe system in extreme situation cane be interesting for potential customer . Thank you for notice .

[@AviationFederation]

@@FelixSamulevich You're most welcome and we appreciate the comments! We're passionate about the topic of parachute systems as a standard feature of most small general aviation aircraft. For us, the safety record is very promising so far.

[@easternwoods4378]

Too bad Diamond was sold to the Chinese.

[@pistaf618]

Cirrus is also Chinese owned.

[@ackerkartoffel8627]

Well, china can still import the Russian emgine

[@nasosnasos8054]

Price ?

[@julieredmon1521]

How does anyone afford a million dollar plane? The payments would be more than my harley and house payments combined. Would love to have one but too rich for my blood.

[@ditto1958]

Composite = plastic?

[@AviationFederation]

Not exactly. Depending on the manufacturer, it can be any combination of carbon fibre, polyethylene laminates, and sometimes with metal/alloy substructures.

[@skylane1829]

Own by the Chinese?………you lost me

[@katprowler6805]

Y? are you a racist?

[@jay_b..]

Does it matter? Most things including iPads are built in China….

[@pistaf618]

[@semiprofessional8470]

They own or are buying everything

[@renejr2296]

Damn shame...this whole damn country and damn near every last citizen in it is up for Chinese purchase 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@billyhillk5726]

Made for short folks. Not being prejudiced here. They're just not practical for anyone over about 5'6/7".

[@gdotone1]

it looks cramped. man! it is a great looking plane but it could be bigger.

[@amgguy4319]

Gosh, the Austrians knew how to design. But it's now Chinese, and we should all do our best to avoid Chinese...

I was a fan until I found out it was Chinese owned.

They don't have toilets

[@classicraceruk1337]

Yea they do a small bag!!!

[@foramericam1097]

Pretty planes but not worth the price!! The ASTRO is crap underpowered overpriced! The 62 is well over a million and there is other planes that have better performance for less!!

[@jay_b..]

There are always planes with better performance… but are they more fuel efficient and run on plain cheap diesel?

[@thesecret7330]

Chinese😢😮😮😮no please don't say that 😢😢😢😢

[@AviationFederation]

We understand; learning Diamond Aircraft is Chinese-owned can be surprising. Is there something specific about Diamond's history or planes that you're fond of?

[@jhaymanmyles2226]

Soon as I heard owned by a chinese holding group at the beginning of the video i stopped watching

[@pistaf618]

Cirrus is also Chinese owned.

[@wesleyhall2719]

Mooney is Chinese owed too

[@Okefenokee_Nole]

10:10 $1.2 million is too much for only 192 knots. I need 225 knots at that price.

[@AviationFederation]

Indeed, the price point of $1.2 million may not meet your expectations for the speed you desire. However, it's important to keep in mind that there are other factors to consider when purchasing an aircraft, such as range, comfort, and avionics. It may be worth exploring other options that better fit your speed requirements and budget.

[@robertmacombo8767]

What a great shame, from austrian to chinese.

[@AviationFederation]

Indeed, Diamond Aircraft's transition from being an Austrian company to having Chinese ownership is a significant change in the industry. Changes in ownership can bring both opportunities and challenges, and it's understandable that such transitions can evoke various sentiments among aviation enthusiasts. It remains to be seen how the transition to Chinese ownership will impact the future direction and offerings of Diamond Aircraft.
