DA40 TDI Diamond Star

Diamond's DA40 has been popular for years. Recently, a new version has been introduced with a diesel engine that burns a stingy 5 gallons of fuel per hour at economy cruise.

The Diamond Star is a four place general aviation aircraft with great handling characteristics and excellent visibility.

Pavel Tobolka has modeled three different versions of the DA40 TDI for our Platinum Collection: one for VFR flight, another for IFR operations and a third with Garmin 1000 glass cockpit.

We invite you to take the DA40 TDI up for a free test flight to enjoy the view.
