Unconventional as it may seem, Diamond has given a sneak preview of its new model – to staff members at its Christmas party.
The new member of the Diamond line, which bears a strong resemblence to other members of the Diamond family, will be called the Diamond DA50, and is said to be able to carry up to five people.
There is no news as yet about the powerplant, but it is rumoured that it will be something up to 350 hp. Options might include the Thielert Centurion 4.0 (Diamond already used Thielert engines), and it’s also a fair bet that Garmin integrated avionics will feature in the new DA50.
