The crankcase of the DA-35 is as on the DA-50 unbelievably compact and very light, which is only possible due to the single counter balance weight on the crankshaft.

First introduced in March 2003, the DA-50R sets the standard in 50cc powerplants. It's perfect for any 25-30% aerobatic aircraft.

The ultimate combination of performance and reliability! The DA-60 delivers excellent structural integrity, it is the latest high performance offering from Desert Aircraft for planes in the 50cc to 70cc class.

Compared to other flat twin engines in its class, the DA 70 has an excellent power to weight ratio. The DA-70 out turns the DA 60 by about 400 RPM on the same prop, with a weight of only 1850 g including the ignition!

The all-new DA-85 combines the low weight and the affordable price of an single-cylinder engine with the power usually only 100cc engines have.

The well proven DA-100 now even lighter and stronger! We couldn't resist adding some new features like a new reed cage, reed valve and a lighter crankcase to our 100cc engine. Here is the result: The DA-100L is now lighter, has more power and improved midrange.

The Desert Aircraft 100cc Inline - just like a DA-200! The best choice for your hight performance warbird. Due to it's smooth, DA-200 like running characteristics, the DA-100I is also a convincing aerobatic engine.

Our classic design now 10% lighter! The DA-150L is the consequential further development of the DA-150. Desert Aircraft succeeded to combine a good power to weight ratio, with the proverbial smooth running characteristics of the DA-150.

The new benchmark for 40% aerobatic planes. With the experience of the extremely reliable DA-150 in our mind, we created the all-new DA-170. Even stronger, with the same dimensions and weight and the same reliability as the 150.
