It's not just a matter of replacing the engine but Diamond has to structurally redesign the plane. The aircraft's yellow line starts around 160Kts and Vne is 205Kts. Adding jets would very quickly exceed these speeds causing damage to the aircraft or you can set the power lower but then defeat using jets in the first place. All in all, adding jets to this thing would easily double or even triple its price tag. Right now, a brand-new base moded DA62 is around 1.2 million USD.
Not to bother with Lycomings or Continentals, no need for carbheat, mixture or propcontrol - just single lever for power, fuelled up with diesel or A1. These engines are very effective and take care of themselves. Provided you have surplus money and you are already multirated, this roomy and compfy plane may be first choice compared to highperformane singles.
Quanto tá custando um aviãozinho desse aí minha joia Manda aí o valor desse bicho aí para mim eu tenho umas cabeça de boi aí dá para comprar um bicho desse aí para gente dar uma passeada uma família aí
кабина маленькая...и за такие деньги можно поставить турбовинтовой двигатель,иметь круиз 500-550 км.час..концепция неверная,поэтому мало кто покупает..2 миллиона бачей..:)
I know it's just me but I have noticed in just about any airplane video where taxiing is involved the pilot is using brakes to taxi instead of engine power. What I mean is, power is set way to high for taxiing and rather than reduce power brakes are applied. I learned to fly in the 60's and my instructors would slap me across the face if I had to use brakes to slow down while taxiing. You see, brakes cost a lot of money to replace. Slow down boys, save those brakes.
Notice that the front wheel on Diamon aircraft is not steerable so you actually have to use the brakes for turning while taxi. That's why you need to apply more power for taxing to be able to maneuver.
@@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIlIlIlIlIlI you're not a pilot are you? 90% of light GA airplanes are not equipped with steerable nose wheels. One doesn't taxi with their feet riding the brakes with excess power just to make a turn. That's not how a light airplane is suppose to be operated. The pilot in this video was clearly taxing with too much power and riding the brakes to keep his speed down. Poor taxiing skills.
Beautiful plane. Too bad they opted for two very anemic Diesel engines. This plane is $1.4 million US. An SR22T is $0.9 million, yet has only slightly less cabin volume, is about 20 knots faster in cruise, uses the same amount of fuel at cruise (~ 18 gallons an hour) and has much better climb and altitude performance. Not to mention the parachute. So why would someone purchase this plane over the SR22T?
@@flexairz Average 100LL is approximately $5.40 per gallan. Jet A is approximately $5.00 per gallon. Linked the source. The fact that you didn't refute any of my criticisms of the plane and posted completely bogus "facts" makes me believe you've never flown before. So knowing that you have no idea what you're talking about, you decided to post because.....? www.airnav.com/fuel/report.html
@@sarahann530 Unless you link a source(s) that show that everywhere else has cheaper diesel, I'm not accepting that as a fact. It also begs the question then, that if diesel is so cheap in the rest of the world, why do general aviation builders and designers continue to use gasoline engines? The reason the DA 62 has diesel engines is NOT about fuel cost. It is to achieve fuel efficiency. It allows a twin to have the fuel consumption of a single. That's it.
@@juliancate7089 Taxes in America are 25% higher on Diesel than gasoline making it more expensive also if Europe its possible to buy rebated diesel which is tax free if its for use in agriculture ,marine or aviation use . www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-european-diesel-cars/
