Design and development
The M10T is a three-seat, single engine, low-wing, tricycle gear composite aircraft, that was originally proposed as a new training aircraft.[2] Although similar in configuration to the Ercoupe-based Mooney M10, the aircraft is an all-new design of composite construction with sidestick controls. The M10J is a parallel development, with a larger 155 hp (116 kW) engine and retractable landing gear.[2][3][4][5]
The company planned to produce the design at its Chino, California plant initially, with the option of expanding to its Kerrville, Texas facility. Assembly was also considered for a new plant under construction in Hunan province, China.[6]
In April 2017 the company indicated that development was canceled, but that their next-generation piston aircraft would use the knowledge they gained during the project.[7][8]
Variants
- M10T
- Fixed gear trainer with Continental CD-135 diesel engine. One prototype built.
- M10J
- Retractable gear version with Continental CD-155 diesel engine. None completed.
