Aircraft Summary
The MU-2B-60 Long-Body Marquise offers enhanced performance with its higher rated shaft horsepower engine. Fly further and explore further with the advanced features of this Solitaire variation.
Mitsubishi’s MU-2A prototype was constructed in limited numbers, with none featuring tip tanks. Sadly, this model was never made available to general aviation enthusiasts.
The MU-2B: Pioneer of the First Production Model.
The MU-2C: A Plane Constructed for the Japanese Government.
The MU-2F: Powerful TPE-331-1-151A Motors and Larger Wing Tip-Tanks for Maximum MGTOW, Speed and Range.
The MU-2J, a long-body variation of the MU-2K, offers superior performance.
The MU-2M offers heightened performance, boasting a 550 lbs. increased Maximum Gross Take-off Weight (MGTOW) and enhanced internal trim. This model is closely related to the MU-2B-26 Short-Body variant – just with improved capabilities.
The MU-2N (MU-2B-36A Long-Body) offers more power with the same engines. Boasting increased shaft horsepower, this long-body variation of the MU-2P provides a powerful performance.
The Japanese Government commissioned the MU-2S, a specialized version of the MU-2 Aircraft.
The MU-2D and MU-2DP: Highlights of the MU-2B Models. The MU-2D is a short-body MU-2B with increased maximum gross take-off weight and several interior upgrades, while the MU-2DP is outfitted with MU-2F engines and larger fuel tanks. While JETNET does not recognize them as separate models, serial numbers 114, 115 and 119 are known to have the MU-2DP retrofit.
The MU-2G: Long Body Variation of the MU-2F. Discover the many advantages of this high-performing aircraft.
The MU-2P (MU-2B-26A Short-Body): Enjoy the Powerful and Quiet TPE-331-5-252M Motor, New Low RPM Gearboxes, Standard 4-Blade Propellers and a Refreshed Interior Design.

Valuation
From 1967 until 1979, Mitsubishi manufactured the MU-2. Starting with the MU-2C and concluding with the MU-2P, the business produced a total of 267 units of different variants. There are still 155 MU-2s in service from Mitsubishi. Prices for the Mitsubishi MU-2 have swung from about $100,000 for the MU-2C to over $650,000 for the MU-2P as the market has fluctuated.
Risk Areas
Claim History
The Mitsubishi MU-2 aircraft has been in service for over five decades and has a relatively good safety record compared to others of a similar age and usage. There have been 395 incidents and accidents since 1967, with 157 accidents resulting in 246 fatalities.
Most were attributed to pilot error, leading the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Mitsubishi to develop an intensive training program for MU-2 pilots to improve safety. Common causes of accidents include engine malfunctions, inadequate maintenance, and pilot error
Safety Features
The Mitsubishi MU-2 is equipped with several preventative safety measures. If the plane starts to stall, the stall warning system will go off and notify the pilots. When an engine fails, the auto-feathering mechanism automatically feathers the propellers to reduce drag and maximize power. The aircraft’s performance may be negatively impacted by ice accumulation on the wings and other surfaces, hence those areas are equipped with de-icing and anti-icing systems.
While flying in poor visibility or bad weather, pilots might benefit from an improved vision system. Electronic flight instruments provide data about the aircraft’s performance and location with high accuracy and reliability. The two turboprop engines that propel the Mitsubishi MU-2 are Garrett TPE331. These engines are well-known for their dependability, efficiency, and high bypass ratio, all of which work together to save fuel consumption.
