If there’s one thing that we at ANN keep an eye out for, it's the kind of airplane that can help a new generation of pilot take to the skies... and there are few airframes as persuasive or prominent as Diamond’s latest rendition of the sturdy DA40 NG... with a Jet-A powered Diesel Engine.
It’s the 168 hp turbocharged Austro AE300 jet fuel engine that sets the DA40 NG far apart from most aircraft. In addition to the fact that you’ll be burning (usually) less expensive Jet-A, you’ll also likely be burning less of it to begin with... especially in a flight training role. Further; as a turbocharged installation, this powerplant allows the aircraft to maintain serious cruise power settings much higher than normally aspirated engines. And oh... by the way, this engine is FADEC controlled... so no more games with hot starts and the like... the computer covers your posterior at all times and also sports a single lever power system.
The four seat aircraft uses a large luscious canopy to enhance visibility with two rows of side by side seats. With the latest generation of G1000 (the NXi), the DA40 NG brings everything up to date inside, outside and under the cowl.
