About the M20

The Mooney M20 is an American single-engine, low-wing, fixed-wing light aircraft featuring a tricycle undercarriage and four seats. Designed as a type-certificated civil utility, it is well-suited for private pilots and touring enthusiasts looking for efficiency and speed.

Al Mooney created the M20 as his twentieth and most enduring project. Over many decades, production went through multiple eras, including early wooden-winged variants that eventually prompted mandatory service directives due to structural rot concerns, leading subsequent versions to adopt an all-metal structure. Following corporate shifts and economic disruptions, production experienced several pauses and revivals under different owners.
