ANN's Daily Feature Program Starts NOW... With The Mooney
Acclaim 'Type S'
We'll have more to say about the initiation of Aero-TV
programming a little later (once we get some sleep), but as
promised, (kinda/sorta... you know the drill), we're starting off
with the first round of our Aero-TV features -- with SO MUCH
more to come -- Daily news, instructional programming, special
interviews, REALLY COOL 'ANN OnScene' reports... the whole nine
yards.
BUT... for now, kick back, relax, and enjoy the first of our
"regularly scheduled" Aero-TV program offerings..
ANN's Aero-TV Profiles The Recently Announced Mooney
Acclaim 'Type S'
On the opening day of the 2007 AOPA Expo, Mooney
Aircraft Company reasserted its claim to the title of 'world's
fastest' piston single. "We can at last, completely and finally,
put to rest any debate about what piston single-engine airplane is
the fastest: It's the Mooney Acclaim, or to be more specific and
precise, the new Mooney Acclaim Type S," said David Copeland,
Mooney's former Vice President of Sales And Marketing (having since
gone to work for Avidyne in the weeks since the announcement).
"We've added more than a new designation to the Acclaim; we've
dramatically increased its top speed," Copeland explained. "The
Type S truly stands for speed: 242 knots of speed, and increased
range, all with the legendary aerodynamic purity that Mooney pilots
appreciate."
Powered by a 280 hp Teledyne Continental Motors IO 550-G engine
equipped with dual Kelly Aerospace turbochargers, the Acclaim will
maintain sea level manifold pressure all the way to its service
ceiling of 25,000 feet. The new Acclaim Type S will also feature a
custom Hartzell propeller and design enhancements that improve
airflow and minimize drag, providing an additional 10 knots over
the top speed of 232 knots originally published in the aircraft's
POH.

About Aero-TV: It's Show
Time!!!!
OK, folks, here we go... we are NOW initiating the first
feature programming series for Aero-TV... we're going to take it
slow, but we're also going to try and be steady about this. DO
UNDERSTAND that this is the most complex media program we've ever
undertaken and what you're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg...
but from here on out, we will be doing our best to educate,
inform, and entertain about all aspects of the exciting worlds of
aviation and aerospace.
If you've been an observer of the media and associated media
industries over the last few years, it's not hard to mistake the
fact that a massive revolution is taking place. Old sources for
news and information are falling by the wayside, having to change
their modus operandi or risk obsolescence (or extinction).
Electronic media and print media are both under the assault of
progress, and the online world has been a cornerstone for
revolutionary change.
We've been ready to go for a while, but to be honest, there's so
much more to this program than we've alluded to and so we've been
building and planning a massive new organization within ANN. That
said, we're hiring talented new people as
fast as we can find them (a far more difficult
task than we had imagined -- REALLY good people are hard to find),
and we're brainstorming at speeds that would make a deorbiting
Space Shuttle feel like a slug. Suffice it to say that we wanted to
do this right, rather than right-now, and that the development of
this program has been the most carefully pursued undertaking we've
ever undertaken.
E-I-C Note: The complete Mooney
Acclaim feature (above) is embedded in this
story, with most of the slick and useful functionality
otherwise available on the main Aero-TV
site (which will be upgraded aggressively
over the next few weeks. The ability to embed a video on
another web page is but one of the hundreds of amazing little
features that we've worked hard on, for many months now, to
implement in different phases of the initial release of
Aero-TV. It is, BY NO MEANS, the only way to enjoy unaltered
Aero-TV programming on other parts of the web... as we have
extensive plans for future functionality, but this feature
allows those with an interest in a specific Aero-TV News or Feature
program to embed it on a different web site, though we must
note that we reserve the right to forbid such use for those sites
or purposes that we do not feel fit in with the proper mission of
the Aero-News Network, Inc.
Webmasters or Administrators of well-trafficked aviation or
aerospace related sites, are welcome to contact the Publisher to
start conversations on how they may be able to leverage some of the
immense power of Aero-TV programming for their sites and
constituency by clicking the I Want Aero-TV On
MY Website! link.
