TYPE: Five-seat lightplane.

PROGRAMME: On 15 December 2006, Diamond allowed guests to its plant an ‘unofficial’ view of the DA50 Super Star, which appears to be a five-seat version of the DA40 Diamond Star. Diamond noted only that the aircraft would employ “various gasoline and Diesel” engines up to 261 kW (350 hp). The prototype appears to have a Thielert 4.0 Diesel of that power and a four-blade, scimitar propeller by MT-Propeller. The T tailplane has the downturned tips found on the DA42.
