About the 201

The Mooney 201 is a four-seat, single-engine, type-certificated fixed-wing aircraft designed for efficient cross-country travel. It features a low-wing layout paired with a retractable landing gear system, a welded steel-tube cabin cage, and a semi-monocoque tailcone, appealing to private owners seeking high cruise efficiency.

Developed with extensive aerodynamic refinement focused on minimizing drag, the aircraft achieved widespread popularity and a long manufacturing run. Notable for its wet-wing fuel storage and distinct tail-trim configuration, the model has maintained a robust used marketplace alongside various avionics update options.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
