Diamond DA42 Twin Star
The DA42 Twin Star is Diamond's four-seat light twin, a low-wing airplane with a composite airframe, retractable landing gear, a T-tail and two diesel engines that burn jet fuel. The FAA approved it in 2005 and the DA42 NG, with Austro engines, in 2010. This site lists one page for the DA42 and DA42 NG, which share ICAO code DA42, so the model page and the variant page show the same data. Private aircraft show specifications only, with no flight data.
