Mooney Bravo Aircraft

The Mooney Bravo (M20M) is the turbocharged long-body Mooney that preceded the Acclaim — produced 1989-2006 with a 270 hp turbocharged Lycoming TIO-540-AF1B engine cruising around 220 knots at altitude. The first Mooney to combine the long-body airframe with a big turbo engine, the Bravo was the speed king until the Acclaim's IO-550 twin-turbo dethroned it. A characterful late-1990s high-altitude cruiser at lower used prices than the Acclaim.
