The DA-50 first flew in 2019 and entered service in 2020. It features composite construction and a sleek low-wing design. Diamond positioned the aircraft as a comfortable step-up option for private owners.
A Continental turbocharged piston engine producing approximately 300 horsepower powers the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches 180 knots (333 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 4,400 pounds (1,996 kg), with seating for five occupants.
The DA-50 incorporates a modern glass cockpit and refined interior layout. Its efficiency and cabin space distinguish it from traditional four-seat singles. Production continues as Diamond expands its lineup.
