DA 40 NG

The DA 40 NG is a highly advanced single-engine aircraft produced by Diamond Aircraft Industries. It features an all-composite airframe, providing durability and aerodynamic efficiency. Power comes from the Austro Engine AE 300 turbocharged common-rail injected 2.0 liter diesel engine, delivering 168 hp, and is controlled by an EECU single lever system. The cockpit incorporates the Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck. The DA 40 NG is widely used for travel, training, and leaseback operations due to its ultra-low fuel burn and superb handling.

Diamond Aircraft Industries is a foundational name in general aviation, known for pioneering the use of composite materials in modern light aircraft. While the company has roots in earlier designs, its current form and international presence reflect a commitment to innovative designs, particularly with its range of diesel and jet-fuel powered aircraft. The company is recognized for producing efficient and technologically advanced planes for both private owners and flight schools.
