The DART-750 will be a certified all composite aerobatic turboprop trainer in tandem seat configuration, equipped with Garmin G3000 avionics and the 750 shp Pratt & Whitney Canada.PT6A-25C turboprop engine.
The first flight of Diamond Aircraft‘s DART-750 aerobatic trainer took place June 12, 2023, at the company’s headquarters in Wiener Neustadt in Austria.
Piloted by Diamond’s Head of Flight Test Sören Pedersen and Senior Test Pilot Niko Daroussis, the maiden flight lasted 30 minutes and covered all basic maneuvers, including performance and handling checks.
“The aircraft and all tested parameters did meet or exceed all expectations,” company officials said in a press release.
