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:
- Mooney introduced the M20V Acclaim Ultra, featuring a new composite skin that enabled the addition of a long-requested left-side door and wider entry for improved cabin access.
- The composite construction also contributes to a quieter cabin, potentially less drag, and simpler windshield/window replacement, alongside a modernized interior with upgraded finishes, soft-touch switches, and G1000 avionics controlled by a new Garmin keypad.
- The aircraft retains its 280 hp Continental engine and best-in-class performance, including a top speed of 242 knots, and is priced at $769,000 with production already underway.
