M20 Ultras
Can a mere machine feel
as though it almost reads your mind?
Ask enough people who’ve flown them, and you’ll hear a
recurring sentiment: Every ascent, every precise bank, every
maneuver in a Mooney makes “action-to-reaction” a very
short trip. Perhaps it’s due to the forged push/pull control
rods. The carry-through wing spar. The laminar wing
inspired by the P-51 Mustang—an aircraft for which superior
maneuverability was literally a matter of life and death.
Or the stability of the vertical tail. Our trademark design
that’s not simply a novelty in the piston airplane category,
but a complete rethinking of how an airplane slices through
the air. Whatever it is, the experience of flying a Mooney
is unlike piloting any other airplane. It starts in your head.
Moves through your hands. And finds its home in your heart.
P.1
 Never have heart and head so perfectly aligned.
Rarely are exceptional performance aircraft like the new
M20 Ultras such, dare we say, sensible machines. For
starters, we offer either a turbocharged Acclaim Ultra or
normally aspirated Ovation Ultra, depending on your flight
profile and geography. And, while the undeniable thrill of
P.2
ascent in a Mooney makes a strong emotional case, these
aircraft perform so efficiently you’ll find yourself checking,
and rechecking, airspeed and fuel burn. It’s as if our designers
and engineers made a logical argument more passionate.
Because, in the true Mooney way, they did.
 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
Double your rate of descent, or quickly peel off 20 knots while keeping
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.

9 | ALL-COMPOSITE INTERIOR PANELS

Laminated composite panels maximize interior space, increase comfort,
6 7 8 9 improve ergonomics and quiet the cabin.

P.5
 Some refinements you see. Others you feel.
The most obvious change is the addition of a pilot-side
door—a seemingly logical addition—and a 4” widening of
both openings. This oft-requested modification spurred a
ripple effect that inspired our designers to improve the final
product in other ways. We reconfigured the legendary steel
cabin-frame to improve safety while accommodating the
additional door. Ironically, another opening added weight.
P.6
So we covered the cabin with lighter, and sleeker, composite
materials that ultimately improved aerodynamics and
quieted the cabin. Then it was on to other details. Reshaped
ice lights. Airliner-grade door hinges. A cabin step that’s a
mini-airfoil. Modifications that result in an exceptional front-
flat-plate drag area. The result of it all is an aircraft that feels
as good as it looks. And vice versa.
A veritable aviation sanctuary. Pilots welcome.
Simply put, this interior is what happens when you think of
the pilot first. The redesigned cockpit is wrapped in molded
fiberglass panels and bathed in luxury automobile-grade
leather. Seat positions were reconsidered and elevated ever
so slightly, to maintain the sporty cradle, while maximizing
sight lines. And then we added the latest in Garmin NXi
avionics, but didn’t stop there. We rethought every switch,
knob and toggle, and recrafted each one or eliminated it
entirely to enhance pilot control inputs. And with a nod to
modern technology, we even placed USB inputs within easy
reach of both pilot and passengers. Mooney has long been
considered a true “pilot’s aircraft.” A cockpit like this proves
that position.
P.9
 Painstakingly artisan-crafted
since way before hipsters.
Some act like the Millennial generation invented the idea
of hand-crafting. Tell that to the technicians, assemblers
and skilled tradespeople building Mooneys. Aircraft like
these are not stamped and bolted together by robots. They
are massaged, caressed, even coddled. They are hand-
formed, hand-assembled and hand-tested by the best in
the business—some of whom have worked for Mooney for
generations. There’s a resilience, and a soul, to a Mooney
that only results from such granular attention to detail. And,
it seems to be working so far. Seven out of ten Mooneys ever
built during our 70-year history, are still flying today.

P.10
It’s as much a coronation as an assembly process.
If you were to walk the floor of the Mooney factory in
Kerrville today, you’d see lines of Ultras in various stages of
completion. You also might happen across an Englishman,
our Vice President of Production Operations, Robert Dutton.
A renowned industry veteran of more than 30 years, he’s
the guy that keeps the factory floor humming. And he has
tuned Mooney production to a just-in-time, lean production
operation. What that means to you is your aircraft moves
from dream to hangar more efficiently than ever before, with
absolutely no compromise in build quality. Only when a
Mooney is ready to go out the door is it knighted a Mooney—
and charged with carrying on our legendary legacy. Perhaps
the fact that Robert was raised under a monarchy has
something to do with that.
