All Composite Airframe
The all carbon composite airframe is not only fashionably but also durable enough with advanced aerodynamics. It is easily maintained and will keep looking great for many years to come. Unlike aluminum airframe, composite can be precisely designed to reinforce structures based on force distribution, thereby reducing overall weight but increasing load carrying capacity and cockpit space.
New-Generation Diesel Engine
Equipped with the new-generation AE300 diesel engine, DA42-VI is outstanding with its strong power but burns fuels like a single. With two 168hp jet fuel engines, the brand-new DA42-VI is more powerful and economical than the basic DA42 version.
For aircraft powered by aviation gasoline, it maintains its maximum power output at about 6,000 feet which decreases obviously with the increase of the altitude. However, for AE300 turbocharged diesel engine, it maintains maximum power output at 10000 feet, leading more advantages of DA42-VI in high-altitude areas.
Significantly Improved Flight Performance
Compared with previous DA42 series, DA42-VI has made remarkable improvements in flight performance and take-off weight.
Satisfactory Single-Engined Operation
Twin-engine DA42-VI is easier to operate than many complex single-engine aircraft since one engine is controlled by one separate power lever. Pilot need not worry about controlling throttle value or advancing the prop to high rpm before landing as it is controlled by computer systems, leaving you more time to enjoy the flight.
Certified TKS De-icing System
A proven TKS de-icing system helps DA42-VI continue flying in icy conditions. The ice protection system prevents accumulation of ice by distributing a thin film of a special de-icing fluid on the wings, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, propellers and canopy. The redundant system design and rigorous flight tests have demonstrated and proved DA42-VI is able to fly a long time in icy condition to help you get back safely.
Personalized Customization
You can customize a unique DA42-VI with personalized coating, luxury leather interior, adjustable seats and tablet personal computer brackets for the pilot and copilot.
