The Beechcraft Bonanza is family of civil utility airplanes manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc, formerly Beech Aircraft Corporation.

The family consist of the three main types.

  • The Model 33 series (named the "Debonair") which was manufactured from 1959 until 1973. It was intended to be a more-basically equipped and budget-friendly version of the Model 35.
  • The Model 35 series Bonanza which was the main series of the aircraft
  • The Model 36 series which was a Model 35 with the cabin stretched approximately 10 inches (25 cm) and the addition of an extra set of rear windows

Summary

“ At the end of World War II, Beech Aircraft Company introduced the first Beechcraft Bonanza into the postwar civil-aviation market. At a time when most light aircraft were still made of wood and fabric, the all-metal Model 35 Bonanza was a relatively fast, low-wing monoplane designed like war-time fighters – with an easy-to-manage, horizontally opposed, six-cylinder engine, a rakishly streamlined shape, retractable undercarriage and low-wing configuration.

Since the first prototype Model 35 in 1945, continuing to the recent G36, more than 18,000 Bonanzas have been built – and while it may not hold the record for most-produced light airplane of all time, the Beechcraft legacy workhorse has been in continuous production longer than any other plane in history.

When the G36 joined the family line in 2006, the six-seater single-engine craft carried forward a legacy of design known for reliable performance and heavy-duty construction, as well as exceptional handling and control feel. But from spinner to tail, the model also benefits from decades of production and constant improvement.

Most notable amongst its advances, the G36 updates the technology suite of its predecessor, the A36. With integrated flat-panel avionics in the form of the Garmin G1000 NXi, managing the flight deck has never been easier. Add to that an upgraded interior, with a host of creature comforts, and the G36 Bonanza offers bizjet levels of fit and finish in a rugged utility craft form – apowerful combination, and a testament to the line's powerful combination, and a testament to the line's enduring appeal. 		”
