N9453V Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Mooney announced the M10 at Zhuhai tonight: http://bit.ly/mooneyM10 Quote
marky_24 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Can anyone find pictures of the full scale model of the M10J? Quote
M20JFlyer Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Try. wcarn.com for pictures of the booth at the China air show for pics and present details of M series Mooney Quote
Ned Gravel Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Maybe it is just me, but I had a look at the three families of Diesel being marketed (or just developed) by Continental. The CD-135 and CD-155 are their 100 series (155 hp and less). The CD 200 are their old TD-300 series and put out between 230 and 250 hp. The CD-300 is a V6 design that puts out 300 hp. I wonder if the CD 200 series could be STC'd for our older models. Hmmmmm 1 Quote

We can either hope for a company (Mooney or Continental?) to do it for us - or maybe someday a co-op of many of us might make a pool and pay for our own STC? Quote
N252WD Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I dont know. I dont like it, doesnt look like a Mooney to me besides the tail. Looks more like a cirrus to me. 1 Quote
Joe Zuffoletto Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I know the image is imaginary, but it looks like the trim system will change. I don't see a pivot point for the empennage. Quote
PMcClure Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 The wing shape and size looks much different that the current wing on the Mooney. More like a Diamond. Quote
manoflamancha Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Agree well at least it is a step in the right direction somewhat affordable new aircraft is what we are hoping for. In the meantime a used nice turbo Mooney 201J works for me. Quote
201er Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Looks like a plastic M20 is not far off? M20JT Quote
midlifeflyer Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 A baby J, I like it. "The M10J performance goals include cruise speeds greater than 170 ktas and a range of more than 1,000 nm while maintaining a competitive market price." Some "baby." Quote
carqwik Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 I think it's further along than just a sketch.... http://dzynetech.com/mooney-international-unveils-m10-designed-dzyne-technologies/ 3 Quote
carusoam Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Nearly twenty people in the Dzyne photo, using computers to aid the design... Art and Al didn't have this kind of team, yet the products still look similar after 50 years. I'm looking forward to the flight tests. One question... Why the giant spinner? I am looking forward to the O4. Best regards, -a- Quote

Best regards, -a- I'm guessing to help fair in the gearbox behind the prop and give it a better aero profile. Quote

mooneygirl Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Here are a few interior type shots of the M10 3 Quote
flyboy0681 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Posted November 12, 2014 This is not your grandfather's Mooney. Quote
N601RX Posted November 12, 2014 Report Posted November 12, 2014 Does many large flight schools purchase planes? I've been told before that the large schools who keep newer models lease the under very favorable terms. Quote
M20Kid Posted November 12, 2014 Report Posted November 12, 2014 I know this new airplane doesn't look like the tried-and-true Mooney we've all come to know, but I'm glad to see them branching out to new designs. I'm not saying I want one of these, but that's not the point; they aren't marketing to your and me. These new planes are stepping stones for a new generation to come up to the M20 designs that we are already comfortable flying. Besides, from a marketing perspective, most of the successful aircraft manufacturers have more than one airframe from which to choose. Cirrus is the only possible exception and they are soon to release the jet version of their model. I'm happy to have Mooney make all the different designs they can dream up, as long as they keep making parts to keep me and my airplane flying safely. 1 Quote
BigTex Posted November 12, 2014 Report Posted November 12, 2014 I saw a drawing of the new M10J and I was a little disappointed in that they got away from the gear design on the M20 series. I suspect they'll be changing the airfoil as well. Quote
