Beech Bonanza, Model 35 V-Tail

Span: 16.75"
Length: 12.25"

The Beechcraft Bonanza is a general aviation aircraft by The Beech Aircraft Corporation. As of 2007 it is still being produced by the Beechcraft Division of Raytheon Aircraft. The Bonanza first flew on December 22, 1945 and was introduced in March 1947.

The Beechcraft Bonanza has a distinctive V-shaped or butterfly tail, set the standard for the stylish yet well-equipped aircraft for the private pilot, albeit one who could afford to fly in relative luxury. The Bonanza has been admired as a classic in the aviation world, even earning Fortune magazine's prestigious award in 1959 as one of the 100 best designed mass-production products.

The Beech Bonanza (Model 35) made its first test flight just after the end of World War II on December 22, 1945, with pilot Vern Carstens at the controls. His flight test phase would be marred by a 1946 accident when the V-tail broke away from the Bonanza's fuselage during a high-speed dive, killing the test pilot but sparing the flight engineer. Walter Beech ordered continued aggressive testing of the Bonanza, eventually accumulating more than 1,500 hours of flight time without further incident.
