The Bonanza V35 is a single-engine, 4-seat, V-tail monoplane manufactured by American aircraft firm Beechcraft. The V35 is a member of the venerable Bonanza family, which holds the title of longest-running continuously produced aircraft line in history (1947 to present). The Bonanza V35 was produced from 1966 to 1967 and is recognizable over other Bonanza V-tail models by a number of distinguishing features that include a one-piece windshield and trapezoidal rear windows.
The Bonanza V35 measures 26 feet, 5 inches nose-to-tail, features a low main wing with a span of 33 feet, 6 inches, and has retractable tricycle landing gear. Its most distinguishing feature is its empennage, which consists of two planar stabilizers arranged atop the rear fuselage in a V configuration. The control surfaces at the aft of each V plane are called ruddervators, and perform, in tandem, a hybrid of a rudder and an elevator.
The V35 is powered by a 6-cylinder Continental IO-520B piston engine that delivers 285 horsepower and drives a McCauley 3-blade propeller. The aircraft cruises at 203 miles per hour, has a range of 900 miles, and has a service ceiling of 17,500 feet above sea level.
Sleek, stylish, and very recognizable, the Beechcraft Bonanza V35 is a classic and sporty cruiser. Its engine, controls, avionics, and design all well balanced and integrated, this machine is a proven favorite among aviators, especially those looking to pilot an aircraft with performance that is a step up from entry level offerings.
