Aircraft with more than 60-year history began designing American engineers back in 1953 year, thus, experts managed to not only create a quality vehicle, but in fact, make the plane very popular among consumers, which was due primarily to the low cost of instance, and at the same time with the high functionality of the aircraft.

Within two years after the start of the design work, in 1955, the plane could make its first flight, while, the aircraft exceeded all expectations aircraft company management, in connection with which, in the same year, the plane went into production, and, production of this the aircraft continues to the present day, which in turn shows its extremely high popularity.

Thanks to the work of designers, the plane was very neat appearance, which also played an important role in the further promotion of the aircraft on the civil aviation market, and aerodynamic shape Rounds at an early design stage, provided the aircraft high maneuverability performance, which in some cases allowed to use this model aircraft and as a sports aircraft.

The cabin of the aircraft Mooney M20 designed for transportation of four persons, including one pilot and three passengers, and, airplane, depending on its modification, is able to move at distances up to 2680 kilometers, provided it is also in demand in the commercial sphere of civil aviation, until the middle of 80-ies of the last century. I found their application in the aircraft and the Air Force, which often operated as a search and rescue aircraft, as a patrol aircraft, etc.

The basic version of the Mooney M20 is equipped with a Lycoming O-320 piston engine with a power of 150 hp, which allows the aircraft to accelerate to a speed of 250 km / h and to cover even very long distances without hindrance.
