Re: New DA40 diesel with retractable landing gear
It looks interesting, but they haven't released much information on it as far as I can see. Here are a couple of links.

According to the article they are going to use the CD-135 and CD-155 AKA Theilerts 2.0\s.

Re: New DA40 diesel with retractable landing gear
Is this a 4 seater ? It seems more like a 2 seater with a big baggage compartment.

Apparently it is a three-seater. Presumably this is so a second student can tag along. I have noticed that this is common with Asian student pilots.Antoine wrote:Is this a 4 seater ? It seems more like a 2 seater with a big baggage compartment.

Re: New DA40 diesel with retractable landing gear
Does anyone know if it is composite or metal construction? The photos kind of give it a composite look.

Re: New DA40 diesel with retractable landing gear
Funny? Most of the references say composite but I thought the AOPA report mentioned some metal. Maybe a frame. Anyone else hear that?
Take a look at that wing chord. This doesn't look like it is going to fly low and slow like a DA40.
