Mooney The Mooney Airplane Company (MAC) is a U.S. manufacturer of single-engined general aviation aircraft. Mooney has been a leader in civil aviation even though the company has gone bankrupt and changed ownership several times. Among their achievements were the first pressurized single-engine piston-powered aircraft (M22 Mustang), production of the fastest civilian single engine prop plane in the world (M20TN Acclaim Type S), the first production aircraft to achieve 201 mph (323 km/h) on 200 hp (320 km/h on 150 kW) (M20J 201) and the fastest transcontinental flight in a single-engine, piston-powered production aircraft (M20K 231). All Mooney aircraft have the signature vertical stabilizer with its vertical leading edge and swept trailing edge that gives the illusion of being forward-swept.
Piper Aircraft Piper Aircraft, Inc., is a manufacturer of general aviation aircraft, located at the Vero Beach Municipal Airport in Vero Beach, Florida.
Gulfstream Aerospace Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation is a producer of several models of jet aircraft. Gulfstream has been a unit of General Dynamics since 2001. The company has produced more than 1,500 aircraft for corporate, government, private, and military customers around the world. More than one-quarter of Fortune 500 companies operate Gulfstream aircraft, and while the Gulfstream has long been considered one of the most prestigious of the larger (heavy) corporate jets (with Learjet perhaps holding that position for the smaller jets and the Boeing BBJ holding it for the larger) the Gulfstream image was seriously tarnished in 2009 when automakers chose to use private jets to reach Washington DC for discussions about government loans - prompting a public relations response called "No Plane - No Gain" by the National Business Aviation Association.
