Meyers 200D performance and specifications
The fastest, normally
aspirated, production piston single-engine 4-place
aircraft ever built. In 1966, a 200A piloted by
Bill Brodbeck set the world speed record for Class
C-1.b Group 1, speed over a 3 kilometre closed
course of
227.24 mph
which lasted almost 18 years. A standard
production Aero Commander 200D, piloted by Don
Washburn, at the same time set the world record in
Class C-1c of 239.5
mph over the
same 3 kilometre closed course. There is an
attempt to place the aircraft back in production
(see history).
