We are renaming the DA52 to improve differentiation from our DA42 series that continues indefinitely in parallel production, said Christian Dries, CEO of Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH, in a press statement. The DA62 series is designed with significant growth potential and continues the upward expansion of Diamonds piston aircraft offerings. It will compete well with conventional six-seat single and twin engine piston aircraft and offers a great step-up alternative to owners of high-performance four and five seat singles seeking more space and capability without sacrificing operating economics.
