Beechcraft Bonanza Aircraft 2010s

2010s piston singles are the current modern fleet — Cirrus SR22 with Perspective+ Garmin avionics, Cessna 172/182/206 with G1000 NXi, Diamond DA40 NG with G1000 NXi, Piper M350 (former Malibu), Mooney M20U Ovation Ultra (production restart attempt). Factory glass cockpits universal, full ADS-B Out compliance, relatively young airframes. Highest acquisition cost in piston-single class but lowest pre-buy discovery risk.

The Beechcraft Bonanza (also called the Beech Bonanza) is the most successful piston single in aviation history — in continuous production since 1947, longer than any other aircraft ever built. It comes in three sub-families: the iconic V-tail Model 35, the conventional straight-tail Model 33 (first sold as the Debonair), and the stretched six-seat Model 36, which is still in production today as the Garmin-equipped G36. All share the Bonanza's hallmark combination of speed, build quality and ramp presence, and all are powered by Continental IO-470/520/550 engines depending on era. There are currently 24 used Bonanzas for sale, ranging from $315,305 for an early V-tail to over $995,000 for a late G36.

Buying a Used Beechcraft Bonanza

Buying a Beechcraft Bonanza comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

The Bonanza holds its value better than almost any other piston single, but the fleet spans more than seven decades — condition and modernisation vary enormously. The dominant value drivers are engine time since overhaul on the Continental IO-470/520/550, the avionics fit (modern Garmin glass vs legacy panels makes a five-figure difference), and on V-tail models the compliance status of the tail and wing-spar airworthiness directives. Older airframes need a corrosion inspection. Always use a Bonanza-experienced shop for the pre-buy — the American Bonanza Society (ABS) network is the standard reference for type-specific inspections. For families or six seats, choose the Model 36 or current G36. For the lowest-cost entry into a fast single and the classic ruddervator silhouette, choose a V-tail Model 35. For conventional straight-tail handling at a moderate price, choose a Model 33 — the early ones were sold as the Debonair and are often the cheapest way into a straight-tail Bonanza.

Frequently Asked Questions — Beechcraft Bonanza

What are the different Beechcraft Bonanza models?
Three sub-families: V-tail Model 35 (1947-1982), straight-tail Model 33 (1960-1995, originally Debonair), and stretched six-seat Model 36 (1968-now, currently the G36).
V-tail vs straight-tail?
The 35 has the V-shaped ruddervator; the 33/36 use a conventional tail. Performance is similar — the choice is about aesthetics, tail-specific ADs and seating.
How long has the Bonanza been in production?
Since 1947 — the longest continuous run of any aircraft in history.
How much does a used Bonanza cost?
From $315,305 for an early V-tail to over $995,000 for a late G36, median around $839,000 across 24 listings.
Is the Bonanza a good airplane?
One of the most respected piston singles ever built — fast, well-made and with strong resale.
