Some new developments over at Diamond...
Diamond Aircraft :: DA42 V1 crosses the 200 knots speed barrier
> 200kts true, obviously under unrealistically ideal conditions.
But still - if the improved aerodynamics & prop alone brings an extra 5-10 kts in ordinary use, that's definitely a plus, and finally puts the DA42 Austro into serious running with parts of the competition.
Also nice to see Diamond investing resources on actively improving the aircraft fundamentals.
