Diamond Aircraft Industries

Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers

Diamond Aircraft Industries is a manufacturer of general aviation aircraft and motor gliders based in Wiener Neustadt, Lower Austria, with facilities in Austria and Ontario, Canada, and further production lines run as joint ventures in other countries such as China. It has been a subsidiary of the Chinese company Wanfeng Aviation since 2017 and is described as the third largest manufacturer for the general aviation sector. Austrian designer Wolf Hoffmann founded it in 1981 as Hoffmann Flugzeugbau, and its first aircraft, the Dimona motor glider, became a commercial success and led to improved models and derived types. After several changes of ownership and name it became Diamond Aircraft Industries in 1998, then building the DA20 and developing the DA40. In 2004 it introduced its first multi-engined aircraft, the DA42 Twin Star, and the single-engined D-Jet was discontinued in 2013.
