From the Mooney Mold
The new Eagle flies into a proud lineage
by Thomas B. Haines, AOPA Pilot, February 1999
Efficiency. It's a Mooney hallmark. Traditionally, no other production airplane has sucked as many knots from each gallon of fuel as the M20 Mooneys. Low drag thanks to a small cabin cross section and an efficient wing propel the airplanes from Kerrville, Texas, at fast cruise speeds on miserly fuel burns. Modern cowl designs really help, too; the Ovation's is one of the best in the business.
