Meet Diamond DA40
The DA40 took the DA20's general concept into a larger cabin. Its low wing, fixed tricycle undercarriage and extensive canopy glazing give it a distinctive appearance. Production has taken place in Austria and Canada, with several engine and equipment developments.
The petrol-engined and diesel-family DA40 variants are not merely different liveries. Engine management and cockpit equipment differ, and simulator packages may represent different points in that development. The individual model names below preserve those distinctions.
