Albert W. Mooney (12 April 1906 – 7 May 1986) was a self-taught American aircraft designer and early aviation entrepreneur. He and brother Arthur Mooney founded the Mooney Aircraft Company in 1929. His first production design (first flight 1947) was the Mooney M-18 Mite.[1] The M-18 developed into the Mooney M20 in 1955, which was produced through several iterations on-and-off from 1955 through 2019,[2] with over 11,000 examples built.
