Mooney Aerospace Corp. expects to deliver more than twice as
many aircraft this year as in 2004, with 66 deliveries having been made so far
through the third quarter.
The deliveries this year to date are valued at $28 million.
The Kerrville, Texas, company delivered 36 aircraft last year and 34 the year
before.
Sales of the company's new Bravo GX and Ovation 2 GX
high-performance, single-engine piston aircraft equipped with the Garmin 1000
integrated avionics suite are helping the company meet its expanded delivery
goal. In the third quarter the company delivered 14 of these aircraft and
expects to deliver the 100th Garmin 1000 equipped aircraft by the end of the
year.
The company, founded in Wichita, Kan., in 1947, expects to
deliver its 11,000th aircraft next year at the company's 60th anniversary. This
will be an Ovation 2 GX destined for a customer in New Jersey.
