Acceptance ceremony at the RTAF
Diamond Aircraft and its distributor Asian Aerospace Services announces the successful delivery of three (3) DA42 MPP (Multi Purpose Platform) reconnaissance aircraft to the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) in Thailand.
The RTAF has placed orders for more than thirty (30) aircraft for multiple applications since 2008. Their newest three DA42 MPP, which will be added to the surveillance and reconnaissance fleet at wing 402, are equipped with high-end sensor technology to support the country in fast collecting environmental data used for disaster relief and monitoring, generation of flood models, surveillance of terrain as well as change-detection and other applications. The aircraft are in a changeable configuration and ready to be used also with existing surveillance and reconnaissance mission systems.
The latest three DA42 MPP were delivered with an extensive package of ground processing stations, spare parts, trainings and a purchase and development program.
Over the last 12 years, Royal Thai Airforce has proven that the DA42 MPP concept is the most efficient and reliable concept available on the market. Together, Diamond Aircraft and the RTAF have implemented a selection of various sensors.
“Diamond Aircraft is honoured to deliver once again DA42 MPP aircraft to the RTAF. This is one of the greatest success stories for the Diamond Aircraft Special Mission Aircraft division. Together with our sales and service partner Asian Aerospace Services, we again proved that dedication and hard work pays off. The cooperation with the RTAF has been a great pleasure and we’re looking forward to continuing to support them and to future projects,” said Benjamin Schuhmann, Sales Manager APAC & ME Diamond Aircraft Austria Special Mission Aircraft Division.

첫댓글 DA42는 2010년 3월 저 회사를 방문했을 때 그 회사 전무가 "왔으니 한번 타봐야죠?"하며 직접 조종해서 태워줬습니다. 그랜저 뒷좌석같은 느낌이었죠.
아마도 조용하고 편안하셨다는 뜻이시겠죠? 다이아몬드사의 비행기들은 나온 지 70년 다 돼가는 세스나의 동급기들보다 여러 모로 신식에 편의성이 좋을 것 같습니다.
@위종민 넵 아주 편안했습니다. 이 회사의 사장은 시제기가 나오면 자기가 직접 낙하산 메고 첫 비행을 직접 했습니다. 2017년에 회사를 중국 자본에 팔긴 했지만요.
