DA42 - Twin Engine That Can

The most cited reason to fly a twin engine aircraft is the added reliability of the second engine, in the unlikely event of a failure of one engine the 2nd engine will get you home. The truth is with most light twins the 2nd engine only buys you a little time and distance to find an emergency landing site. But the DA42 is not your average twin, the 2nd engine can carry you onward and, in many cases, upward if ever called upon to do so. The fact is its single engine climb performance is the best in the world, come see for yourself.
