Piel Diamant

The Piel CP.60 Diamant is a single-engine light aircraft designed in France in the 1960s and marketed for home building. It is a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane and essentially an enlarged version of Piel's successful Emeraude designed to accommodate more passengers. This extra capacity is provided by a redesigned fuselage which is higher in the rear section and longer overall.
