M20V Acclaim Ultra vs M350
The M20V Acclaim Ultra leads, topping 3 of 7 compared metrics.
Cross-shopping the Mooney International M20V Acclaim Ultra (introduced 2016) against the Piper Aircraft M350 (introduced 2015) is a common decision, and the two sit closer on paper than the badges suggest. Both are piston singles, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is cabin capacity, where the M350 carries more passengers. We line the numbers up below, then translate them into the mission each aircraft actually wins.

M20V Acclaim Ultra vs M350: the key differences
- The M350 delivers 5% more range (M20V Acclaim Ultra: 1,275 nm; M350: 1,343 nm).
- The M20V Acclaim Ultra delivers 14% more cruise speed (M20V Acclaim Ultra: 242 kt; M350: 213 kt).
- The M350 delivers 50% more passenger capacity (M20V Acclaim Ultra: 4 seats; M350: 6 seats).
- The M20V Acclaim Ultra is the newer design (introduced 2016 versus 2015 for the M350), a gap of 1 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The M350 is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (4,358 lbs versus 3,368 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
Both aircraft are built for regional and short-to-medium legs, so outright range rarely separates them — the call leans on cabin (the M350 seats more), trip economics and what is actually available on the market. Match the airframe to how you fly most weeks, not to the headline range figure.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the M350 leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The M20V Acclaim Ultra can still be the smarter buy on acquisition cost, operating economics, runway performance, or current availability — the factors that rarely show up in a spec sheet. Our acquisition advisory team can model both against your actual mission profile before you commit.
