14. Diamond DA-62: Ideal Family twin Cruiser. Flight review

Another great video from the Diamond Aircraft Factory and a New Flight Review of Unique Family of Diamond Aircraft. This time in my review, it's the Diamond DA62 aircraft. It is the flagship aircraft in the entire Diamond aircraft lineup, the most luxurious, and the most spacious. It can accommodate up to 7 people in a sufficiently spacious and comfortable cabin, flying over 1000 miles at a speed of 170 knots, making it an ideal family cruiser.

Personally, I was impressed by the aircraft's performance with one engine shut down. Yes, Martin and I deliberately shut down one engine in mid-air and performed various maneuvers to test the aircraft's stability and ease of control with a single engine. I can say that it was an excellent exercise, and the DA-62 handled it brilliantly.

By the way, the DA-62 has EASA and FAA type certificates, making it very convenient for use in the United States.

Best DA62 video I've seen. Thank you, Andrey.

[klausss]

I'm also glad to see your videos again and look forward to the video about the Pilatus PC-12.

Very informative video. My 22 yr old son should be getting his PPL by the mid of August and he has inspired me to start my PPL journey. I’m 56 (in good health) and it’s always been a dream of mine to fly. The Diamond line of aircraft is truly amazing and I could see myself flying a Diamond soon!!! Thanks for the video.

About the wingtips (23:20 question), they always curve in the direction of lift with the objective to reduce wing-tip vortices and induced drag. They point downwards on the T tail because that's the direction of the lift there, as it pushes the tail down to raise the nose since the CG is slightly ahead of the CP for several stability reasons.

And, of course, they point downwards to make this the best looking plane out there!

Big Diamond fan here, looking forward for my special gift at Oshkosh haha

Great video, by the way, thanks for the content, keep it up! Cheers from Brazil!

Hey sir, you asked a really good question.

I think the answer of why the tips of the main wing curve upwards while the tips of the horizontal stabilizer curve downwards on a T - tail airplane particularly this one has to do with the T - tail's natural performance during a stall as a result of its design.

The T - tail's design creates a vulnerability to disrupt airflow over the horizontal stabilizer if the aircraft archives a high angle of attack.

As we know, the main wing does develop wind vortices as it cuts through the air. When these vortices are developed at a high angle of attack, they may flow over the horizontal stabilizer and elevator hence reducing or completely nullifying pitch authority.

Different manufacturers have different ways of dealing with this challenge.

Some incorporate a stick shaker to alert the pilot well before the challenge presents itself and others incorporate automatic correction by the flight control software especially in airliners where the computer moves the flight control surfaces as it deems necessary to prevent the problem from occuring.

Diamond Aircraft's solution seems to be one of the best and cost effective in general aviation.

I think they curved the horizontal stabilizer down to prevent a situation where vortices from the main wing completely nullify pitch authority if a fully developed stall occurs.

In this case there will still be some elevator authority which will enable the pilot to push the stick forward (lower the nose of the airplane) and recover from the stall by reducing the angle of attack.

Also, I think they curved the main wings of the airplane upwards to maximize the chance that the vortices developed by the main wings will pass over the horizontal stabilizer hence ensuring that the pilot always has some sort of pitch authority during a fully developed stall.

I am not an engineer so maybe I am wrong but I hope to become a pilot one day through sky eagle aviation academy.

Feel free to let me know if I am correct. Looking forward to your response.

This is the most intelligent review of an aircraft I've seen.

[ВладимирЗингеренко]

Спасибо! Наконец то после долгого ожидания. Пожалуйста не пропадайте.

[fvi]

Glad you back! Looking forward for new videos to come.

[aeromarket]

Андрей, спасибо за новый выпуск! Очень ждали! Очень нужны в эти непростые времена!

[LMays-cuhp]

Thank you for sharing beautiful aircraft.😊

[weystrom]

Always cool to listen to Martin, so knowledge

[chiibekwe]

Thank you for creating and uploading this video! Made my day!

[mikeabc]

Opening the door on Dimond in windy conditions looks like it could be a very pricy affair. Large doors and small hinges.

[igoryoung]

Спасибо за новый выпуск, с возвращением!

[william_ochieng]

Wow, the wait was worth it. Really great review sir. You always deliver above expectations. Thanks so much for making the video. I am very grateful.

[taimurchoudhry.]

Under normal flying conditions, the tail section (horizontal stabilizer) of a T-tail is out of the disturbed airflow behind the main wings and fuselage, this allows for a more consistent elevator response.

If the t-tail is level (without an anhedral design), then in sideslips you get a pronounced rolling moment imposed onto the fin by the tail, which has to be borne in addition to the direct fin sideload due to sideslip. By incorporating an anhedral design (the down slope of the t-tail) this rolling movement is reduced a little making the aircraft more stable at lower speeds as well. T-tails can reduce the loads on the fin of the aircraft.

I am doing my ground school studies by myself in the hope to become a pilot one day. Please do guide me if my answer is not correct. I will highly appreciate your guidance. I have never flown an aircraft, but my love for general aviation keeps me in search of whatever I can learn. Also I'll take this opportunity to thank you for the SkyEagle Aviation Lectures on your other channel. They are helping me a lot. Thank you

[mahyadnaadlaw]

Wow. Comprehensive instruction.
On the wings. It's a very good integration of aesthetic form & function of aerodynsmic vortexes that could provide proper flight balance.
Uber aircraft.

I love your pants, I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out what brand they are😂.
I love you content as well. Love the in-depth expertise. 🙏😊

Андрей спасибо большое Вам за очередной интересный выпуск. Вы как всегда на высоте!

[sergeylazarev]

Блин, сначала Васильев вышел неожиданно, теперь Андрей. Очень рад. Спасибо, дорогой.
