Flight has always moved us forward.
From an idea in 1929 to a worldwide community of Mooney pilots.
Al Mooney had been developing the designs for a four-seater plane for some time while the Mite was in production. In early 1953, the company moved to Kerrville, Texas, and when it became clear that the Mite was nearing the end of its production, the development of the new plane was accelerated. The first M20 flight took place on September 3, 1953. Charles Yankey had been the primary financial backer since he helped Al establish the company in 1948, and when he visited Kerrville for a ride in the new airplane, he was pleased with the project and began to develop the financial plans necessary to put the plane into production.
Made in Kerrville.
Aircraft manufacturing brings together engineers, fabricators, technicians, inspectors, and pilots.
Mooney's Texas factory has also provided engineering and precision manufacturing services beyond its own aircraft. Explore the team's contract capabilities or get in touch to discuss a project.
