The Beech S35 Bonanza was a redeveloped
version of the Model P35 with six seats, a redesigned rear cabin and
optional three-bladed propeller. The Model V35 (622 built) was
introduced in 1967 and had a single piece windshield and a maximum
take-off weight of 3400lb(1543kg). A turbo-charged version was the
V35-TC. The Model V35A (470 built) was introduced in 1969 featuring
minor improvements and the turbo-charged version was the V35B-TC. The
final Beech 35 Bonanza model was the V35B (1334 built) which entered
production in 1971. A turbo version was the V35B-TC. Production of the
V-Tail Bonanzas ended in 1983 after 38 years of unbroken production.
These aircraft remain as popular today as they were five decades ago and
will grace the skies for another five decades. A Model S35 is shown
