The Mitsubishi MU-2 is a Japanese high-wing, twin-engine turboprop aircraft with a pressurized cabin manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It made its maiden flight in September 1963 and was produced until 1986. It is one of postwar Japan's most successful aircraft, with 704 manufactured in Japan and San Angelo, Texas, in the United States.

The Mitsubishi MU-2 was manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as a high-wing turboprop aircraft designed with a pressurized cabin and powered by twin engines. It first flew in September 1963 and was produced from 1963 to 1986.

From the compact size to the very sturdy landing gear (which was copied from the F-104 Starfighter), the MU-2 exudes trust. This aircraft weighs more than the new light jets, resulting in an exceptionally robust airframe.

2022年8月30日 · Manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the MU-2 is a high-wing, twin turboprop aircraft with engines mounted under its wings (giving the propellers good ground clearance for landing on unimproved areas) and has a pressurized cabin carrying a capacity of between 7-11 passengers.

2011年5月1日 · Today, the MU–2 is still a performance leader bested in cruise speed by only contemporary—and much more expensive—King Airs (300 and 350), and the rare Piper Cheyenne 400LS. But the MU–2 has been plagued with a reputation of being an unforgiving, or outright dangerous, airplane.

2009年2月10日 · The Mitsubishi MU-2 is a high-performance turboprop with an extraordinary top speed of 370 mph. It can cruise at an exceptional 360 mph. Much of this outstanding performance apparently is the result of rather compact overall dimensions for a turboprop twin.

Work on the high-wing, pressurized twin began in 1956. There are two basic varieties: a short body that typically seats seven, and a long-body model that can accommodate eight to 11 people. Both models carry 90 gallons of fuel in distinctive tanks on each wing tip, in addition to wing tanks.
