Diamond DA42 Twin Star

The Ultimate Four Seat Twin

The DA42 Twin Star is the ultimate flying machine. If you're considering a high performance single or light twin, there simply isn't a better aircraft on the market today. It is the world's first and only aircraft with an advanced airframe, avionics and engines giving you options like you've never had before.

The DA42 is fully IFR equipped with the Garmin G1000, autopilot and available known ice protection. The Twin Star leads the way with exceptional range, economy and comfort. Twin Jet-A fuelled engines give the DA42 speed and you the confidence of two engines, which means you can go direct over water or rugged terrain, and cover great distances without the need to refuel. No matter where you're going, you can get there in a Twin Star.
