DART SERIES THE NEXT LEVEL OF VERSATILITY FROM CONCEPT TO PRESENT

general information

The all-carbon-fiber DART Series, envisioned as an aerobatic (+7/- MAIDEN FLIGHT DART-450 4G) tandem trainer, features centre stick control, ejection seats, a 17 MAY 2016 five-blade MT propeller and a Garmin system.

ENGINE VARIANTS ▪ Turboprop engine AI-450 CP (450 SHP) manufactured by Motor Sich for DART-450 ▪ Turboprop engine GE H75-A (550 SHP) manufactured by General Electric for DART-550

KINDS OF OPERATION ▪ VFR (day and night) and IFR ▪ Take-off and landing on paved surfaces or grass surfaces

APPLICATIONS Basic to advanced flight training, Aerobatic, Formation, Multi Role

STRUCTURE All composite CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer). MOCK UP DART-450 From the very beginning, DEC 2015 CERTIFICATION STANDARD Diamond Aircraft knew that the DART series will be something CS/FAR23 1) unmatched on the market and

will eliminate old generation CATEGORY trainer from the market for a Aerobatic / Utility (Multi Role) very long period of time.
