"Mooney Airplane Company

The Mooney name has earned it’s place in the pantheon of aviation legends. Founded in 1929, the Mooney Airplane Company has delivered more than 11,000 aircraft worldwide. The story of Mooney has been one of constant innovation, industry leadership and the passion for flight.

A History of Innovation

Mooney engineering has always focused on producing the highest-performing, safest and most efficient aircraft. With aircraft market-tested for more than half a century, pilots fly their Mooneys with confidence. State-of-the-art systems and airframe upgrades continue to help Mooney deliver the highest performance/value equation offered in general aviation. All new Mooney airplanes offer redundant electrical and vacuum systems plus enhanced engine instrumentation. Mooney also offers airframe upgrades, such as built-in oxygen systems, air conditioning and TKS anti-icing systems (certified for flight into known icing conditions). No other competitor, with models at or even near the speeds of current Mooneys, offers these capabilities." ... more

"If you've driven a high-performance car, you have an idea of how it feels to sit in the left seat of a Mooney. Hand-stitched leather seats fit you like a glove. Front seat belts include an inertia reel and an AMSAFE airbag, standard on all models. Additional seat options include oxygen and Bose headset connections. Back seat options include either two individual seats, which recline, or a three-place bench seat (great for the kids). Pilots as tall as 6’8” fly in comfort. Did we mention cup holders? All occupants find they have excellent visibility and appreciate the individual lighting and air controls. All Mooneys offer heating and optional air conditioning. Handy storage accommodates logbooks and more. An expandable, flat-floor baggage area holds everything from suitcases to golf clubs to coolers.

To see the AMSAFE seatbelt in action, either click on the video links (or right-click on the following links and from the dialog box that pops up, choose "Save Target As"). This will allow you to save the videos to your computer." more
