The four-seat Twin Star, built by Austrian manufacturer Diamond Aircraft Industries, completed its inaugural flight in December 2002. Power now comes from a pair of Austro AE-300 diesel engines. Aside from its popularity on the civil market, the type has military applications - the MPP variant offers a wide scope of usage in a variety of configurations for utilisation as an aerial platform for research and development flying, as well as testing and evaluating airborne systems. At the show will be a civilian example of the Twin Star provided by Swiss pilot Bruno Stocker.
