DA-42 Page Interior Panel Engine Propeller Diamond Aircraft
| It offers pilot workload- reducing single-lever power
controls for each engine, exceptionally low fuel consumption and all glass
cockpit. The new twin also offers familiar Diamond characteristics such as dual control sticks, all composite construction, low stall speed and unparalleled visibility. With the landing gear retracted and at approximately 15% below maximum gross weight, the climb performance exceeded 2,000 ft/min. @ 90kts. Cruise climb at 110 kts yielded a climb performance of 1,700 fpm. Less than 8 minutes elapsed during continuous climb to 12,000 ft. At this altitude, under ISA conditions, a maximum speed of just over 200 kts true airspeed was achieved. Single engine climb rate at 12,000 ft averaged 600 ft/min. The theoretical maximum endurance and range at minimum power settings approach 19 hrs and 2,200 nm with the long range tank. |
