 1 | ALL-TRIMMING TAIL
This strong and efficient design provides for optimum controllability in
high angle-of-attack conditions, and eliminates trim tab drag.

2 | LOWEST FLAT PLATE DRAG AREA

The wind resistance of the extraordinarily aerodynamic Mooney M20
Ultra is equivalent to pushing an average notebook computer through
the atmosphere.

3 | LAMINAR WING
This design provides lower drag and increased fuel efficiency.

4 | SPEED BRAKES

1 2 3 4 5 engine temperatures well in the green.

5 | STEEL-TUBE CABIN FRAME

The cockpit is enveloped in a high-strength, 4130 Chromoly cage that
provides an additional layer of security and safety.

6 | PUSH /PULL CONTROL RODS

Forged steel rods replace cables for precise, positive, reliable control inputs
and feel.

7 | CARRY-THROUGH WING SPAR

The only aircraft in its class with a continuous tip-to-tip spar, providing
exceptional structural integrity.

8 | RUGGED RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR

Landing gear is fully enclosed and equipped with dual cylinder/dual puck
brakes for maximum stopping power.
