The Diamond DA42 Twin Star is a four seat, twin engine, propeller-driven airplane developed manufactured by Austrian company Diamond Aircraft Industries. It was Diamond's first twin engine design, as well as the first new European twin-engine aircraft in its category to be developed in over 25 years. During 2004, the DA42 became the first diesel-powered fixed-wing aircraft to perform a non-stop crossing of the North Atlantic. Powerplant: 2x Austro turbocharged deisel engines (168 hp) each. I know that the engines that are on here are turboprop engines but there looks just fit the bill perfectly. This aircraft replica is completely to scale, sorry the speed is not to scale with the original 221 mph but it is close, Also the weight is not to scale with the aircraft everything else though is.
