Introduction 11 November 2014
Status In development



The Mooney M10T is a light training aircraft under development by Mooney Aircraft with a proposed delivery date in 2017.

Design and development

The M10T is a two-seat, single engine, low-wing, tricycle gear composite aircraft. Although similar in configuration to the Ercoupe-based Mooney M10, the aircraft is an all-new design of composite construction with sidestick controls. An M10J is in parallel development with a larger 155 hp (116 kW) engine and retractable landing gear.[1][2][3]

The company plans to produce the design at its Chino, California plant initially, with the option of expanding to its Kerrville, Texas facility. Assembly may take place at a new plant under construction in Hunan province, China and the aircraft may be built there if demand warrants.[4]

Variants
