Now put 4 seats in there and pressurize it. That will be fun.

it is not their first turbine…Diamond Aircraft does have a very creative and innovative "Skunk Works" at their Wiener Neustadt airfield HQ..there is always something going on..

the small Ukrainian turboprop engine could be interesting in the future..nothing comparable available from either Pratt or RR..
