About the Mooney M20TN Acclaim
The Mooney M20TN Acclaim Type S is widely recognized as one of the fastest certified single-engine piston aircraft ever produced. It features a Twin-Turbo Continental TSIO-550-G engine (280hp) and aerodynamic refinements that push cruise speeds over 240 knots at altitude.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Blistering Speed: Capable of 242 KTAS at FL250, competing directly with entry-level turboprops in travel time.
- Twin Turbo: The dual turbocharger setup allows for normalization up to 25,000 ft, maintaining full power high into the flight levels.
- Range: With standard long-range tanks (100 gal usable), it offers 1,000+ nm capabilities.
Trade-offs
- Cost: Significantly higher acquisition and maintenance costs compared to older M20 models.
- Runway Requirements: Like most heavy Mooneys, it requires respectable runway lengths (2,500+ ft) to operate comfortably, especially when heavy.
