Made from carbon fibre, the DA50 RG boasts advanced aerodynamics with smooth surfaces and an impressive ramp appeal. Tomorrow's composite technology in today's airframe design. I hope that pilots, designers and enthusiasts alike will appreciate my design, and I hope for the greatest success for the Diamond Aircraft team and the DA50 RG." As a hobbyist private pilot, this has also been a unique experience where I have been able to apply my skills as an artist directly to my passion for flying. With the help of Diamond Aircraft Industries, I have been given the opportunity to leave a small mark on the aviation community, and it is very humbling to have made such a contribution on a Diamond aircraft. Kirk Smith, Digital Artist and winner of the DA50 Exterior Design Competition: "As a digital artist, it is not often that I am presented with the task to combine aesthetic design with the intricacies of aviation.

Some even accompanied with the story and intension behind the designs, that made the jury speechless. From bird’s and racing designs to embracing the Diamond jewel theme. Over a period of three months, Diamond received an unbelievable number of well thought out designs. Diamond gave the #DiamondAircraftFamily the chance to engage even closer with the company and was calling for exterior paint scheme design proposals for the DA50 RG demonstrator. On Diamond started a one of a kind contest for every aviation enthusiast: Designing the exterior paint scheme of an aircraft.
