How Diamonds are made - Discovery Channel

Post by dafzero »

This isn't a particularly new video I happened upon, and is far from HD quality but it is a quick (5 min) overview of how the aircraft are laid-up. Interesting if you can't make it to the factory where they are happy to show you around and sell you a new one.

Here's a much newer (but short) video posted by Diamond Austria about the making of the DA62. I particularly like the shot of the structural testing where they bend the wings:
