Diamond DA42 Twin Star Description

The efficiency and luxury can go hand in hand. We introduce the Diamond DA42 Twin Star, a twin-engine wonder that is the ultimate game changer in the personal and business aviation sector. Disabuse yourself of the notion that you may have gained regarding piston twins; this aircraft is supremely reliable, just like turbines on the outside and like a miser on the inside with its lightweight composite fuse, all the while sipping Jet-A fuel. Moreover, imagine you are overcoming headwinds at a speed of a steady 185km/h true airspeed, all the while competitors are refueling talking you when you are going to your destination which is up to 1852 km away. Four friends or colleagues are easily together in the plane in an environment which is designed as an office with a focus on productivity and comfort. As you are entering the aircraft, you encounter an environment that caters equally to your senses and your mission. Ultra-deep cushions embrace your body whereas ergonomic design helps you feel comfortable even during very long flights. Every surface talks about quality, - from the controls intuitively located near you to the silent acoustics that are realized by innovating noise-dampening technologies. Are you in the process of reviewing charts or concluding a presentation? A generous supply of natural light comes through the large windows and reading lamps are perfectly placed. In addition, practicality is shown with an ample baggage storage compartment behind the cabin for briefcases or weekend luggage. Driving this vehicle seems rather like conducting a music orchestra than flying a plane. The unparalleled technological advances brought about by the Garmin G1000 NXi glass cockpit make your experience more pleasure, as they provide you with informative and comprehensive synthetic vision, awareness of terrain and approachable traffic integration. The entry-level Thielert Centurion 1.7 diesel engines not only consume less fuel but are also the best in the market, offering turbine dispatch reliability and at the same time only 15 gallons an hour fuel burn combined. As you den the cab in the weather and traffic-free climb above, the composite frame of the aircraft cuts clearly through the turbulence. Meanwhile, the landing is also done proficiently, the heavy landing gear absorbs bumps while negotiation is done with exact controls. This is not only a mode of transport; it is a weapon of freedom. The DA42 Twin Star is a multitasker that can handle everything from high-flying instructor duties to tough intercity business travel. With its construction of all-composite, it is the corrosion enemy and the protection for seeking out low maintenance issues for ages. There is a clear talk of reduced operating costs, which can now be used to make investments in experiences rather than expenses. Imagine gliding straight closer to your final destination, skipping the already congested air corridor. This aircraft is capable of flying both the scenic coastal routes at sunset or punching through mountain passes at dawn with sophisticated comfort. It is the smart pilots' solution for challenging weather conditions: it combines the precision of Austrian engineering with performance that is practical and attainable.
