Key Takeaways:

  • Diamond Aircraft and its sister company Austro Engine are actively developing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) solutions and alternative energy sources for their aircraft, leveraging their existing fleet's compatibility with jet fuel.
  • This initiative aims to provide a near-term, drop-in SAF blend for general aviation with minimal aircraft modifications, involving collaboration with airlines, fuel producers, and universities.
  • They plan to deliver an ASTM-accepted SAF blend within a few years, power their own fleet with it by 2025, achieve market acceptance by 2030, and target 100 percent unblended SAF by 2050.

With the majority of its fleet able to utilize diesel-based fuels—including its new EASA-approved DA50 RG—Diamond Aircraft has long committed to better efficiency, lower operating costs—and a reduced overall environmental footprint.

To pursue further the development of sustainable aviation fuel solutions and alternative energy sources for its aircraft—current and future models—Diamond Aircraft Austria, together with its sister company Austro Engine, announced this week at AERO the projects it has undertaken recently towards this future.
