The Diamond DA62 is a five- to seven-seat, twin-engine light aircraft produced by Diamond Aircraft Industries and first announced in March 2012.
Initially designated as the DA52, the first prototype flew on in April 2012 after six months of development. In June 2014 the production aircraft was redesignated as the DA62. European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification was granted in April 2015 and American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification was granted in February 2016. Said to offer "twin power with single-engine simplicity" there have been 273 deliveries of the aircraft through early 2024.
The Chancellor of Germany, certified pilot Friedrich Merz, is known to own and fly a DA62.
