AOPA Turbine Pilot Magazine - July 2022 - 58

There's no mistaking the
DA50 RG's muscular lines
and prominent cowling. While
the airplane may look like the
beast it is-no DA20, this-it
makes docile landings thanks
to its trailing-link landing gear
geometry (right).
Whatever the appeal, Diamond is confident.
It expects 300 total sales in 2022, rising to 500
aircraft in 2024, with a 50-50 split between
private owners and fleet operators such as
flight schools.
As for the top of the line, Diamond has said there will
be special focus on the DA62 and DA50 RG. The company
says the DA50 RG engine's time between replacement
(there is no time between overhaul) extension to 2,000
hours will help sales. There are other signs of optimism.
Diamond's Chinese owners-Wanfeng Aviation-say
they're building a new factory in Qingdao, China, to
help ramp up production, joining the existing factories
in London, Ontario, and Wiener Neustadt. An aerobatic
trainer-the Dart 750-is also in the works, as is the
eDA40, a hybrid-electric design.
The snarky among us might complain about the DA50
RG's somewhat heavy roll forces or modest range, or poke
fun at that smallish fifth, center seat. But vortex generators
and slotted Fowler flaps mean docile stalls and little in

the way of low-speed airflow
separation over the
wings, and the VGs provide
roll control even as
the airplane is deep in
the stall. As for its 750nm
maximum range,
most pilots seldom fly legs this long. And there's no arguing
about the airplane's interior room and comfort.
The last day of our visit, Scherrer gave us a tour of
the nearby Alps, where we flew around one snow-covered
peak after another, then flew down a narrow, sinuous
valley he called the " Valley of Hell, " banking steeply as
we wended our way through. Seems this is part of every
demo ride conducted out of Wiener Neustadt, and the
DA50 RG's nimble maneuvering down the valley showed
off just one of the airplane's many attributes. It will be
interesting to see how the market responds to this
remarkable airplane. Its price will be one factor, and as
of this writing Diamond has said that average-equipped
DA50 RGs will go for about $1.3 million.
