The Diamond DA42 Twin Star light aircraft produced by Diamond Aircraft Industries was the first new piston twin to enter production in a generation and the first certified with diesel engines. It is a four-seat piston twin based on the Diamond DA40-TDI carbon composite. A Diamond DA42 Twin Star charter suits regional hops such as Miami–Key West, Naples–Orlando or Fort Lauderdale–Nassau.
Charter a Diamond DA42 Twin Star private jet:
The engines on the DA42 are turbocharged, direct-injected, and electronically controlled. Each Austro or Thielert diesel engine runs on Jet-A fuel, which is cheaper and more widely available than avgas. In addition, an integrated Garmin G1000 digital avionics system is installed, with GPS and airborne collision warning capability.
The Diamond DA42 Twin Star has become very popular in the private aviation industry for its vast possibilities and high functionality. The cabin is designed to carry up to 3 passengers and has comfortable rest or productive work facilities.
On charter the DA42 is a two-engine alternative to a single-engine piston for one to three passengers with light luggage on sectors under about 400 nautical miles; its low fuel burn makes it the economical choice for short positioning, survey and scenic flights. It is unpressurized and cruises around 160 knots, so for a full-day trip or more than three people a Piper Navajo or King Air C90 is the usual step up.
