Diamond DA50 RG for Sale — The Diesel-Powered Diamond Flagship
The Diamond DA50 RG is Diamond Aircraft's most ambitious single-engine design — a five-seat retractable-gear composite aircraft powered by a Continental CD-300 diesel engine that delivers 300 horsepower while running on Jet-A fuel at fuel consumption rates that piston gasoline engines cannot approach. The DA50's diesel powerplant philosophy is not merely about fuel cost savings — it addresses the fundamental challenge of Jet-A and diesel fuel's universal availability worldwide at a time when 100LL avgas availability is increasingly constrained, particularly in European and international markets where the DA50 was designed to serve the demanding touring pilot who travels across borders regularly.
DA50 RG Design
The DA50's composite construction, retractable landing gear, and Continental CD-300 FADEC-controlled diesel engine combine to produce cruise speeds of approximately 185 knots on fuel consumption of approximately 10 gallons per hour of Jet-A — an efficiency that turbine operators note with envy. The five-seat cabin accommodates a family or small group with genuine comfort, and the Garmin G1000 avionics suite provides the navigation and safety systems appropriate for IFR cross-country touring. The aircraft's FADEC engine control eliminates the mixture and propeller controls that add workload to piston aircraft operations, simplifying the pilot's task on long sectors.
