Diamond DA40 Four-Seat Single-Engine Aircraft Family
The Diamond DA40 is a four-seat, single-engine composite aircraft family developed for personal travel and flight training. The original gasoline-powered design was followed by fixed-pitch, diesel and jet-fuel variants, the later DA40 NG and XLT, and an electric eDA40 demonstrator. Its glider-influenced aerodynamics, panoramic canopy, modern cockpit options, and widespread use by private owners and training organizations made it an important modern general aviation design.
