A little history... Designed by a team led by Ralph Harmon, the original
model 35 Bonanza was the first truly modern high-performance personal
aircraft: a very fast, all-metal, low-wing monoplane at a time when most
light aircraftwere still made of wood and fabric. The model 35 featured
retractable landing gear and its signature V Tail (equipped with a
combination elevator-rudder called a ruddervator), which made it both highly
efficient and the most distinctive private aircraft in the sky. The prototype
35 Bonanza made its first flight on December 22, 1945, with the first
production aircraft debuting as 1947 models.
In 1982 the V-tail Bonanza was ped from production, though more than
6,000 V-tail models are still flying today, and they command a premium price
on the used aircraft market.
All Bonanzas share an unusual feature: the yoke and rudder pedals are
interconnected by a system of flexible bungees which assist in keeping the
airplane in co-ordinated flight during turns. The bungee system allows the
pilot to make coordinated turns using the yoke alone, or with minimal rudder
input, during cruise flight. On takeoff increased right-rudder pressure is
still required to overcometorque and P factor. In the landing phase the
bungee system must be over-ridden by the pilot when making cross wind
landings and cross controlled inputs are required to keep the nose of the
airplane aligned with the runway centerline without drifting left or right.
This feature started with the V-tail and persists on the current production
model.
