Punches Well Above its Weight
The DA-85 combines the lightweight efficiency and affordability of a single-cylinder engine with the broad torque and commanding power you'd expect from many 100cc engines. It's proof that displacement alone doesn't tell the whole story. Engineered for 35% aerobatic aircraft and large-scale warbirds, the DA-85 delivers crisp throttle response, effortless vertical performance, and the legendary reliability Desert Aircraft is known for. Lightweight. Powerful. Built to outperform expectations.
