Diamond HK36 Super Dimona - lightweight single-engine aircraft produced in Austria, referring to the class of motor gliders.

The first developments of the Diamond HK36 Super Dimona aircraft date back to the middle of the 70-ies of the last century, while Austrian design engineers intended to create a full-fledged light aircraft capable of overcoming long distances at quite acceptable speeds. Nevertheless, the model failed the first tests, and it was mainly expressed in insufficient lifting power, so the wings of the aircraft had to be lengthened, and in the future, the aircraft itself was assigned to the class of motorized gliders, although in reality, similarity with them Was very small.

Subsequently, on the basis of the current model, several modified versions were created, including this applies to the Diamond DV20 light-engine aircraft, however, the current model has become perhaps one of the most popular.

Cockpit Diamond HK36 Super Dimona has small dimensions and is designed only for two people - one pilot and one passenger. Because of the design features of the aircraft, its functionality is very limited - the plane is not suitable for passenger traffic and freight traffic, although in fact, the maximum range of its flight of more than a thousand kilometers at a maximum speed of flight in 275 km \ h.

The Diamond HK36 Super Dimona is powered by a Rotax 912A piston aircraft engine, which provides 80 hp. and more, depending on the modification and version. The power plant provides the aircraft with a cruising speed of 185 km / h, and at the same time is not expensive in its service and maintenance.

On the basis of the main production version of Diamond H36 Dimona, which appeared in the year 1980, created several versions that differ as a design additions and flight performance, including power plants, a maximum take-off weight, speed, flight, route distance, etc. .

In 1993, based on the first version, there was a modification of the Diamond HK36R Super Dimona, which used a carbon fiber fuselage, greatly facilitated the weight of the aircraft. The power plant of this version has not changed, and the fuselage was increased both in length and wingspan.

In 1997 year, it appeared several distinct modified versions, including:

  • Diamond HK36TS Super Dimona - Increase the size of the aircraft;
  • Diamond HK36TC Super Dimona - powerplant used Rotax 912 A3 capacity 80 hp .;
  • Diamond HK36TTS Super Dimona - used turbocharged piston aircraft Rotax 914 F3 with 115 hp. and a new propeller;
  • Diamond HK36TTC Super Dimona - 914 hp Rotax 3 F115 turbocharged piston aircraft engines, a new propeller and a modified aircraft design;

 

Modification of Diamond HK36TTC Eco Dimona received minor technical improvements, hardly affected the flight characteristics of the aircraft (a new instrument panel, mounted camera, etc.).

The Diamond HK36TC-100 Super Dimona version, introduced in 2003, received a Rotax 912 S3 piston aircraft engine developing a thrust of 100 hp, which in turn led to an improvement in a number of aircraft technical parameters.

The final version of the current family of small-aircraft modification became Diamond DA36 E-Star, is different from the previous reduced to 25% fuel consumption, increased maximum flight range, and equipped with a hybrid.

Manufacturing and production of aircraft Diamond HK36 Super Dimona continues to this day. Over the entire period of production, it was built about 940 aircraft, including modification of this model.
