Build to order 2026 delivery position of the DA62-MPP SurveyStar Mission Ready Aircraft by Air Bear.
Air Bear presents the DA62 MPP SurveyStar, recently introduced by Diamond Aircraft Industries. This variant of the DA62 MPP family has set a new standard for high capability, low-cost airborne survey missions. As the factory authorized MPP distributor of the MPP series in the United States, Air Bear is offering the SurveyStar to address your mission requirements.
Diamond Aircraft, in cooperation with its partners Vexcel Imaging, IGI, Somag as well as RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems, created a state-of-the-art survey configuration - the DA62 MPP SurveyStar. The extraordinary low noise signature of the aircraft, supported by the on-top exhaust systems, in combination with the low fuel burn fits perfectly to the idea to operate silently and environmentally friendly.
Survey Hatch Concept
To have the most clean and aerodynamic shape, Diamond follows the idea to integrate survey cameras as well as the stabilization mount in the cabin by replacing the right-hand operator seat. The easy access to the large luggage compartment allows Diamond an easy installation of all additional mission equipment like data storage units, FMS and others. After a year of massive development effort, Diamond received two EASA STC major changes, 62-001 which describes the 20” modification in the fuselage centre section as well as the EASA STC 62-002 which describes the single seat configuration modification.
Single Seat Concept
The standard available seat bench of the DA62 was replaced by two individual DA62 pilot seats to significantly increase the comfort and generate more room for the operator. The seats were re-positioned backwards by 50 mm, there is a console in the middle for standard Dzus units or other tailor-made applications as well as the opportunity to benefit from the adjustable backrest for the operators.
Typical Survey Multi Mission Solution
A Vexcel UltraCAM Eagle or Osprey incl. Ultranav, a SOMAG GSM4000 stabilization mount install in the cabin in combination with RIEGL VQ-780 II airborne scanner in the Universal Nose.
