One of the biggest complaints Mooney has heard from its thousands of M20 customers is the lack of a left-side door. While adding a second door to a decades-old design is no easy feat, the company listened to the feedback. In February, Mooney announced the M20V Acclaim Ultra, which has a new composite skin to enclose the cabin’s protective chromoly-steel roll cage.
Project Notebook: Mooney M20V Acclaim Ultra
Key Takeaways:
- The Mooney M20V Acclaim Ultra introduces a new composite cabin skin, enabling the addition of a long-requested left-side door and wider main doors for significantly improved access.
- This composite construction also results in a quieter cabin, potentially less drag, and easier window replacements, alongside a modernized interior and panel featuring a Garmin keypad for G1000 avionics.
- Despite these significant upgrades, the aircraft retains its best-in-class 280 hp engine and performance, with production underway and priced at $769,000.
