D-EADL might be a reference to Deadalus (Icharus father from greek mythology)

dont wanna be picky...but his name was Daedalus with they "ae" to make an "eye" sound. And his sons name was Icarus. I might as well fill you guys in but Daedalus is the man who made the wax wings for himself and his son(Icarus). Icarus got too cocky and he flew near the sun and his wax wings melted plunging him into the ocean.

and i would fly in a rotary powered airplane.

if it was made by mazda

Actually, they are some of the more relieble motors for airplanes due to their ability to sustain continous revs for so long. We were considering putting one in my dad's airplane for a very long time.
