Wanting to produce a better airplane for general aviation, WD Aircraft in Germany focused on designing a sleek, technologically advanced, and certified single-engine aircraft. In 1995, Wolfgang Dallach, owner of WD Aircraft, unveiled his new plane, the D4 Fascination. The creative, talented and experienced team at WD Aircraft in Germany succeeded in creating one of the most forward-thinking aircraft in more than twenty years. For the first time in aviation history it has been proven that high performance, speed and comfort can be combined and achieved with low horsepower. The two-seat D4 Fascination incorporates a laminar flow wing that helps boost its flight performance to a 190-mph speed, with an efficient 4.5 gallon per hour fuel-burn rate. Understanding the need for pilot and passenger comfort, WD designers used the roomy interior of an automobile as a model. The cabin includes unsurpassed visibility, well-positioned seats and generous legroom that allow passengers to fly in the same envelope of comfort as the pilot. Although comfort and performance were key factors in the design of the D4 Fascination, safety was of the utmost importance. The D4 incorporates a wide range of safety features, both mechanically and electronically. Other safety enhancements include better control and handling, very forgiving stall characteristics and an improved airframe. The most prominent safety item is the Airframe Parachute System. Since 1996 the D4 is one of the few certified airplanes that possesses this incredible safety advancement, designed to deploy and lower the entire aircraft to the ground.
