Overview

  • The 242-knot top speed of the Mooney M20V Acclaim Ultra gives the company bragging rights as the fastest single-engine production piston aircraft. The typical useful load for this aircraft is right around 1,000 pounds, and the range with the extended 100-gallon tanks can be stretched to 1,275 nm at a cruise speed of 175 knots. With a cabin wrapped in noise-reducing composite, doors on both sides, and a significantly upgraded interior including Garmin NXi avionics, it’s hard to find a competitor.
