Meet Diamond DA50
Diamond first presented the DA50 project in 2006 and flew it in April 2007. Several engine proposals formed part of its development history. Certification followed in 2020 with the Continental CD-300 diesel installation. Earlier prototypes and the later production configuration therefore need separate context when interpreting historical specifications.
