ERAU Receives New Diamond Aircraft DA42-VI Fleet

School Has Completed Acceptance Of A New Fleet Of Austro Engine Jet-Fuel Aircraft

Dr. Karen A. Holbrook, Interim President of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University accepted the aircraft, which will remain on display at the Diamond booth throughout AirVenture 2016, from Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. CEO Peter Maurer.

The occasion was also marked by Diamond's contribution of $65,000 to top up the existing endowed scholarship fund to $100,000.

"Scholarship support from industry is a vital part of not only attracting future aviators, but also retaining these passionate and talented students" said Embry-Riddle Interim President Dr. Karen A. Holbrook.

"With this endowment, Diamond is leading by example. They are proving their commitment to investing in future aviation talent." The DA42-VI is the flagship of Embry-Riddle's fleet and will be used to provide multiengine training at its Daytona Beach, Florida campus. Compared to conventional AVGAS powered twins, the fleet of 10 aircraft is expected to generate more than $3 million in fuel savings alone, over the next eight years.

The DA42-VI is the newest version of Diamond’s technology leading light piston twin, the first certified general aviation piston aircraft to combine modern technology airframe, avionics and powerplants.
