Diamond Aircraft Industries is a globally recognized leader in general aviation, known for cutting-edge design, innovation, and a strong commitment to safety and sustainability. With state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Canada, Austria, and China, we offer a full line of aircraft—from training to cross-country touring platforms—including the DA20, DA40, DA42, and DA62.Our dedication to the future of aviation is demonstrated through pioneering efforts in electric flight. We are actively developing the eDA40, the first all-electric training aircraft built on a certified platform, designed with DC fast-charging capabilities to reduce downtime and emissions—aligning with our mission to create more sustainable skies.

In 2024, Diamond Aircraft further expanded its vision by integrating Volocopter, a global leader in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
