The MU-2 has emerged from controversy to rebirth as a highly desirable turboprop. This is largely a result of its now being operated by responsible Part 91 and 135 owner/pilots embracing standardized training, high maintenance standards and disciplined flying.

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.
