About the Mooney M20J
The Mooney 201 (M20J) is the efficiency icon of general aviation — a 200 hp fuel-injected Lycoming IO-360 single famous for hitting 201 mph (175 knots) on modest power, which is how it earned its name. Introduced in 1977, the 201 transformed Mooney's reputation: clean aerodynamics, fuel injection and refined cowling made it one of the most fuel-efficient four-seat singles ever built. Cruise around 165-170 knots in real-world operation at fuel burns competitive with much slower aircraft, and a robust used market thanks to a long production run.
Produced 1977–1998. Total produced: 3,100.
