It's not just a matter of replacing the engine but Diamond has to structurally redesign the plane. The aircraft's yellow line starts around 160Kts and Vne is 205Kts. Adding jets would very quickly exceed these speeds causing damage to the aircraft or you can set the power lower but then defeat using jets in the first place. All in all, adding jets to this thing would easily double or even triple its price tag. Right now, a brand-new base moded DA62 is around 1.2 million USD.

Jet?

Its a spaceship bruv

Jet a1 so kerosine/diesel

1.08 million standard until 1.60 million wen i google the prices

@@erwinpoll thanks for information....

Yes diesel so jet fuel they need

@@erwinpoll havy tork!

Motor a kerosene

Notice that the front wheel on Diamon aircraft is not steerable so you actually have to use the brakes for turning while taxi. That's why you need to apply more power for taxing to be able to maneuver.

@@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIlIlIlIlIlI you're not a pilot are you? 90% of light GA airplanes are not equipped with steerable nose wheels. One doesn't taxi with their feet riding the brakes with excess power just to make a turn. That's not how a light airplane is suppose to be operated. The pilot in this video was clearly taxing with too much power and riding the brakes to keep his speed down. Poor taxiing skills.

Two 180 hp turbo charged diesels running cheap jet fuel at 16 usg total. Multi engine safety. 7 pob... Need I say more?

@@flexairz Average 100LL is approximately $5.40 per gallan. Jet A is approximately $5.00 per gallon. Linked the source. The fact that you didn't refute any of my criticisms of the plane and posted completely bogus "facts" makes me believe you've never flown before. So knowing that you have no idea what you're talking about, you decided to post because.....? www.airnav.com/fuel/report.html

@@juliancate7089 Diesel is cheaper outside America

@@sarahann530 Unless you link a source(s) that show that everywhere else has cheaper diesel, I'm not accepting that as a fact. It also begs the question then, that if diesel is so cheap in the rest of the world, why do general aviation builders and designers continue to use gasoline engines? The reason the DA 62 has diesel engines is NOT about fuel cost. It is to achieve fuel efficiency. It allows a twin to have the fuel consumption of a single. That's it.

@@juliancate7089 Taxes in America are 25% higher on Diesel than gasoline making it more expensive also if Europe its possible to buy rebated diesel which is tax free if its for use in agriculture ,marine or aviation use . www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-european-diesel-cars/
