Now More Beautiful Than Ever

The DA42-VI is available in more colors and designs than ever before. Choose from a range of standard Diamond exterior schemes, or work with the factory to create a fully customized paint design that's entirely your own — because no two DA42-VIs need to look alike.

It's a small detail that says something bigger about Diamond: an aircraft this refined deserves to look exactly the way its owner imagines it.

Designed for Pilot's Satisfaction

The interior of the DA42-VI was designed with the pilot and passengers in mind. Ergonomically shaped, climate-controlled seats offer adjustable lumbar support and backrest position, while hand-made upholstery in a range of luxury materials elevates the cabin beyond what you'd expect from a light twin.

Thoughtful details make the difference on longer trips: built-in tablet mount provisions for both pilot and co-pilot, and two generous nose baggage compartments sized for golf bags — genuine flexibility for whatever the mission calls for.

Engineered to Protect. Designed to Impress.

Diamond's industry-leading safety record isn't an accident — it's advanced aerodynamics paired with the latest in passive safety technology, built into a sleek all-carbon composite airframe that's durable, easy to maintain, and built for superior occupant protection in the event of the unexpected.

That same engineering discipline carries through the flight deck: a state-of-the-art glass cockpit puts every system at a glance, while twin jet-fuel-powered engines deliver the range and efficiency that make the DA42-VI one of the most capable light twins in the sky.
