Aircraft › Diamond Aircraft › DA40 › DA 40 NG
The Diamond DA40 NG is a four-seat, low-wing, fixed-tricycle-gear aircraft powered by the turbocharged Austro Engine AE 300.
The WBcalc calculator represents the 1,280 kg / 2,822 lb standard-tank configuration without MÄM 40-662. That is not identical to the current-production DA40 NG specification.

Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG history and development
The DA40 NG is associated with production beginning in 2010 in the aircraft family. Diamond has continued to develop the DA40 NG through approved mass, equipment and fuel configurations.
Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG certification and applicability
| Catalog production period | 2010–present |
|---|---|
| Represented calculator configuration | 1,280 kg / 2,822 lb without MÄM 40-662 |
| Minimum flight weight represented | 2,072 lb |
Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG fuel capacity
The WBcalc configuration represents 28.0 U.S. gallons usable in the standard-tank configuration.
Current Diamond factory specifications list a larger total fuel capacity including auxiliary capacity. Those current factory figures must not be substituted for the earlier calculator configuration without confirming applicability.
Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG configurations and applicability
2,822 lb standard-tank configuration
Applicability: DA40 NG 1,280 kg / 2,822 lb configuration without MÄM 40-662, represented by AFM Doc. 6.01.15-E Revision 4.
| Engine | Austro Engine AE 300 |
|---|---|
| Engine type | Turbocharged common-rail injected diesel |
| Power | 168 hp |
| Maximum takeoff weight | 2,822 lb |
| Maximum landing weight | 2,681 lb |
| Usable fuel | 28 US gal |
The source-linked calculator also applies a minimum flight weight of 2,072 lb. This limit must be checked from the applicable AFM because the generic encyclopedia specs schema does not replace aircraft operating limitations.

Current-production DA40 NG
Applicability: Current Diamond factory specification; do not substitute these figures for an earlier AFM configuration.
| Engine | Austro Engine AE 300 |
|---|---|
| Engine type | Turbocharged common-rail injected 2.0-liter diesel |
| Power | 168 hp |
| Maximum takeoff weight | 2,888 lb |
| Total fuel | 39 US gal |
Current Diamond specifications list 2,888 lb maximum takeoff mass and 39 US gal total fuel, comprising main and auxiliary capacity.

Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG model applicability and configuration
The 2,822 lb configuration represented by WBcalc has a 2,681 lb maximum landing weight and a 2,072 lb minimum flight weight. The minimum flight weight is a real operating limit, not simply a chart endpoint.
Current-production DA40 NG specifications differ in maximum takeoff mass and fuel capacity, so the applicable AFM and approved modifications must be identified for the individual aircraft.
DA40 NG calculator configuration vs current production
| Specification | WBcalc / AFM represented configuration | Current-production DA40 NG |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum takeoff weight | 2,822 lb | 2,888 lb current factory specification |
| Engine | Austro Engine AE 300 | Austro Engine AE 300 |
| Standard/main fuel represented | 28.0 US gal usable | Current factory system includes additional auxiliary capacity |
| Minimum flight weight | 2,072 lb | Verify current applicable AFM |
Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG weight and balance
The source-linked calculator represents a 2,822 lb maximum takeoff weight, 2,681 lb maximum landing weight, 2,072 lb minimum flight weight and 28.0 U.S. gallons usable fuel.
Because minimum flight weight is an explicit limitation for this configuration, it must be checked independently of the upper weight and CG envelope limits.

Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG frequently asked questions
What engine does the Diamond DA40 NG use?
The DA40 NG uses the Austro Engine AE 300, a turbocharged common-rail injected diesel rated at 168 hp.
What maximum takeoff weight does the WBcalc DA40 NG configuration use?
The represented configuration uses a maximum takeoff weight of 2,822 lb.
Does the represented DA40 NG have a minimum flight weight?
Yes. The source-linked AFM configuration represented by WBcalc has a minimum flight weight of 2,072 lb.
Is the 2,822 lb DA40 NG configuration the same as the current-production aircraft?
No. Current Diamond factory specifications list a higher maximum takeoff mass, so exact AFM and modification applicability must be verified.
