The Mooney Mite is a small, single-seat, homebuilt sport aircraft that was produced by Mooney Aircraft from 1948 until 1954. It's a low-wing, single-engine monoplane that was designed to be an affordable personal aircraft. The Mite is known for its distinctive 'backward' tail design and its impressive speed for such a small aircraft. It was one of the first aircraft to be designed specifically for the Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) category.
