THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Beechcraft Bonanza family

The Bonanza appeared in 1947 as an all-metal aircraft with retractable landing gear. Its distinctive early V-tail became one of general aviation's best-known silhouettes. Conventional-tail versions also developed into a major branch of the family, including the longer Model 36.

The V35 and G36 are therefore more than different panel options. Tail arrangement, fuselage and equipment distinguish the branches. Simulator products also range from conventional instruments to integrated glass cockpits, so aircraft identity and developer identity both matter when comparing them.
