Inside Diamond's D-Jet Personal Jet Aircraft

Diamond Aircraft Industries DA-42 "Twinstar"

The Twinstar is the most advanced and modern piston twin in the world.  It is a 21st century airplane that  incorporates the very latest in computer-aided airframe design and is constructed with advanced composite materials to yield a lighter, stronger, safer and more economical airplane.

With a state of the art glass cockpit, all-weather capability, computerized engine controls and autopilot, synthetic vision, and active traffic scan, the TwinStar is a pilot's airplane--it's fun, easy and, thus, safer to fly.
