First 'Made In China' Mooney Rolls Off Assembly Line

Company Has 17 Chinese-Manufactured Airplanes On Order From Five Customers

The first Mooney M20TN airplane to be manufactured in China has rolled off the company's assembly line in Central China's Henan province.

The legacy U.S. planemaker was purchased by a Meijing Group, a Chinese real estate development company last year.

Want China Times reports that there are four Chinese companies and one individual that have ordered 17 airplanes from Mooney.

The Meijing Group says that its goal is to revive the 85-year-old U.S. airplane manufacturer, which has suspended production in 2010. Mooney is one of three aircraft companies controlled by Meijing in the provincial capital of Zhengzhou, which is fast becoming an aerospace hub in the region, according to the report.
