Diamond Aircraft revolutionized the general aviation market with being the first to introduce Diesel piston singles and twins. Together with Austro Engine they invested millions to develop and build their own eco-friendly, fuel-saving and powerful aircraft jet fuel engines. If you are thinking ‘Isn't jet fuel for the big airlines?’ you are absolutely right. It is, for many good reasons:
You burn 50% less fuel
You can operate worldwide since the aircraft is certified for multiple fuel types (Jet-A, Jet-A1, TS-1, RT, JP-8, and No. 3 Jet fuel)
Lower fuel cost compared to Avgas (the average price ratio between Jet-A1 and Avgas is 1:2)
Excellent performance including unique high-altitude performance thanks to the integrated turbo charger
You can now concentrate on more important things with the simplified electronic controlled system (ECU) to manage engine systems, including a single power lever design
You'll be excited about the drastically lower maintenance costs compared to conventional avgas engines
Diamond Aircraft currently still is the only provider of twin-engine aircraft powered by a turbocharged jet fuel Austro Engine model.
