About the Diamond DA40

The Diamond DA40 is one of the safest four-seat single-engine aircraft in production — composite construction, Austro AE300 diesel (modern variants) or Lycoming IO-360 (DA40-180 piston variant), factory Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, ~150 kt cruise on the diesel. The DA40's exceptional safety record (independent analyses consistently rank it among the safest small aircraft) combines with materially lower operating cost than Avgas equivalents (DA40 NG with diesel burns ~6-9 gph Jet-A vs ~10-12 gph Avgas on equivalent Cessna 172 or Cirrus SR20). Production variants: DA40 TDI (Thielert diesel, 2002-2008 — engine support issues), DA40 NG (Austro AE300 diesel, 2009+ — current), DA40-180 (Lycoming IO-360 piston, current). The DA40 NG with Austro AE300 is the volume modern fleet.

Produced 2000. Total produced: 2,000.
