The Beech Model 35 Bonanza was the founder member of a remarkable family of aircraft, not only for the fact that production of Bonanzas of all types amounts to about 15,000 airplanes, but also because the V-tail Bonanza extended over 35 years of production. Flown for the first time on December 22, 1945, the prototype Model 35 Bonanza, distinguished easily by its V-(or butterfly-) tail, was to become another outstanding success in the mold of the Models 17 and 18. Unlike these airplanes, it got off the ground rather more quickly, for when the company announced that full-scale production was to begin in March 1947, it already had a backlog of around 1,500 orders for the airplane. The general configuration of the Model 35 has remained virtually unchanged throughout the aircraft's history. A cantilever low-wing monoplane of all-metal construction, including the distinctive tail unit, the Model 35 has an enclosed cabin providing seating for a pilot and three or four passengers. An optional feature on the airplane throughout the years has been a landing gear safety system of Beech design. Named "Magic Hand", this ensures that the wheels cannot be retracted accidentally on the ground or a landing made with the wheels up. The Model V35B is powered by one 285-hp Continental IO-520-BB flat-six piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed at sea level of 209 mph, economic cruising speed of 157 mph at 8,000 feet, service ceiling of 17,860 feet, and a range with maximum fuel at 8,000 feet of 1,023 miles. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
