The Diamond DA-20 is a two-seater, low-wing aircraft utilized for flight training and personal air travel. Initially, it was equipped with a Rotax engine but later models featured the Continental O-240-B power unit. The Katana competes directly with the Cessna 150, providing similar functionality while boasting a higher cruising speed. Its composite construction and bubble canopy offer enhanced visibility for pilots; however, cockpit temperature may be higher due to the greenhouse effect. Ventilation options are available to mitigate this issue. The Katana's impressive glide ratio of 11:1 or 14:1 (depending on model) outperforms the Cessna 150's 7:1 ratio, making it a top choice. The Aspen Avionics glass cockpit is another key feature of this aircraft. This highly detailed model is available for download in various formats, boasting animatable parts such as the propeller, flaps, ailerons, elevators, rudder, and canopy. Its glass instrument panel mimics the Aspen glass cockpit design.
