Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.

Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

  1. 1963First flight
  2. 1965 - Único avião executivo japonês com produção em massa no Ocidente, 704 unidades

    O MU-2 foi desenvolvido pela Mitsubishi Heavy Industries em parceria com Mooney Aircraft Corporation nos EUA, com primeiro voo em setembro de 1963 e certificação inicial em 1965. A produção continuou até 1986 com 704 unidades entregues nas variantes B-10 a B-60 (Solitaire e Marquise). É o único avião executivo japonês a alcançar produção em massa e penetração no mercado ocidental, e marca a entrada da Mitsubishi na aviação geral antes de focar exclusivamente em programas militares e industriais.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

320 kt de cruzeiro, turboélice mais rápido em produção da sua era

Com Garrett TPE331-10 (776 SHP) na variante Marquise (B-60), o MU-2 atinge 320 kt em cruzeiro alto, performance jet-like que coloca o MU-2 entre os turboélices executivos mais rápidos já produzidos, comparável aos Citation early jets. A velocidade vem da fuselagem aerodinamicamente otimizada, asa de envergadura curta e arrasto reduzido pela ausência de ailerons (substituídos por spoilers).

Full-span flaps entregam STOL surpreendente em twin TP médio

A combinação de flaps full-span (todo o bordo de fuga é flap) com spoilers para roll control entrega coeficientes de sustentação extraordinariamente altos em decolagem e pouso, permitindo balanced field de aproximadamente 2.200 ft, similar ao King Air e melhor que o Conquest II. Isso possibilitou operação em pistas curtas frequentemente impossíveis para turboprops da mesma faixa de velocidade.

Limitations

Reputação ruim por acidentes nos anos 1980, eventualmente atribuídos a treinamento, não design

Durante os anos 1970-80, o MU-2 acumulou taxa de acidentes elevada que gerou reputação controversa entre pilotos e seguradoras. A FAA conduziu múltiplas investigações entre 1984 e 2008, incluindo o Special Certification Review de 1997, que concluíram que o design da aeronave era seguro mas exigia técnica de pilotagem específica diferente da convencional (especialmente em V1 cuts e missed approaches). Em fevereiro de 2008 a FAA emitiu o SFAR 108, tornando obrigatório treinamento Initial e Recurrent anual em centros credenciados, após sua implementação, a taxa de acidentes caiu para níveis comparáveis ou inferiores ao restante da categoria.

Spoilers em vez de ailerons exigem técnica de roll control diferente

O sistema de spoilers para roll control (em vez de ailerons convencionais) torna o avião extremamente responsivo em alta velocidade mas exige técnica diferente em baixa velocidade, particularmente em situações de aproximação curta e missed approach. Pilotos com experiência prévia em twin convencional (King Air, Conquest) frequentemente subestimam a transição. Por isso o SFAR 108 enfatiza simulator training específico para essas técnicas e mantém a frota em operação segura.

Curiosities

Variantes PT6A vs Garrett, duas linhagens de motorização (mas só Garrett triunfou)

Embora a maioria absoluta dos MU-2 produzidos utilize Garrett TPE331, existiu uma variante experimental MU-2C com PT6A no início do programa que não vingou comercialmente. As variantes finais Solitaire (curta, B-40) e Marquise (longa, B-60) ambas com TPE331-10 foram as mais bem-sucedidas e representam aproximadamente 70% da frota remanescente. Ironicamente, a escolha do Garrett (mais barulhento) foi alvo de críticas históricas, mas é hoje considerada uma vantagem por entregar maior potência e velocidade que justificou a fama jet-like do MU-2.
