History

The company was founded in Friesach, Austria, in 1981, under the name Hoffmann Flugzeugbau to produce the H36 all-composite motor glider. Becoming Hoffman Aircraft Limited in 1985, the company moved its headquarters to Vienna, Austria and introduced the MkII model. In 1987, the airport at Wiener Neustadt, Austria (the oldest in Europe[citation needed]), became the new home for the company. In 1991 the parent company was renamed HOAC AG and purchased by the Dries Family. In the same year, Diamond started development of the HK36R and Rotax 912 powered motorglider, which were the precursors to the DV20 Katana (Diamond's first production series GA single-engine aircraft). Friesach (Slovenian: Breže) is a town in the district Sankt Veit an der Glan, Carinthia, Austria. ... “Wien” redirects here. ... Wiener Neustadt (Hungarian: Bécsújhely) is located south of Vienna in the state of Lower Austria. ...


In 1992, in order to have more ready access to supply the North American market, the company opened a second manufacturing facility in London, Ontario, Canada. This facility operated under the name Dimona Aircraft until it was changed to Diamond Aircraft in 1996. This article is about the capital of England and the United Kingdom. ...

The Austrian-built DV20 Katana was certified in 1993, and the first Canadian-built model was delivered in 1995. It received the Flight Magazine Eagle Award, for best light aircraft in the same year. 1997 marked the delivery of the 500th DV20 and the introduction of the DA20-C1, which had improved performance and load capabilities. The DA20-C1 Eclipse (an improved version of the DA20-C1) also entered production.
