Aero-TV At OSH21: Launching The DA50 RG At Oshkosh

Take A Number! Diamond Hosts Its Busiest Booth In Years

By the second day of Oshkosh, the DA50 RG was finally unveiled. The aircraft took flight over the Atlantic before making its debut launch. The DA50 RG made quite an impression on people, with a line to get in continuing all day long.

We talked with Annemarie Mercedes Heikenwalder, Sales & Marketing at Diamond, about what makes this aircraft different from what else we’ve seen on the high-performance market.

“Upfront you’ve got the Continental CD300 300 hp V6 engine. It roars at you,” says Annemarie. “It’s jet fuel-powered, so it sticks with our concept of developing that fuel line. She’s not all that thirsty, she’s just around 16 to 18 gallons depending on how you set the power,” Annemarie continued. “Range is around 700-750 miles.”

The aircraft is still undergoing FAA validation, which is expected to be received in 2022. Once that is received ten slots are available for next year’s delivery. The aircraft starts at $1.15 million base price. The DA50 RG is still being built overseas, with the ultimate goal being to have them built in Canada.

The DA50 RG was built to stay within the Diamond philosophy, and people can expect the same safety features they have become accustomed to; seats with crash elements, pedals that move from the fixed seats,  and dual wing spars that protect the fuel cells. The aircraft is fully carbon fiber built, and according to the  company, there is much more cabin space than other aircraft that it is being compared to.

In regards to what’s to come for the aircraft, it’s safe to say this was a great launch. “There were so many people lined up to see this all day long, this is the busiest booth we have seen in many many years,” Annemarie concluded.
