Mooney M-20

Using early postwar experience with the Mooney M-18 Mite, Al W. Mooney moved into the four-seat monoplane market in the early 1950s with the M-20A design, featuring a similar low wing and retractable undercarriage - some subsequent lower specification models were offered with a fixed gear. The M-20B had a larger engine and was of all-metal construction. Successive marques of the type (Ranger, Master, Super 21, Chapparal, Executive and Statesman), with its distinctive raked trailing fin edge, have been offered, with over 7500 delivered to date.
