[2] Although similar in configuration to the Ercoupe-based Mooney M10, the aircraft is an all-new design of composite construction with sidestick controls.
The M10J is a parallel development, with a larger 155 hp (116 kW) engine and retractable landing gear.
[2][3][4][5] The company planned to produce the design at its Chino, California plant initially, with the option of expanding to its Kerrville, Texas facility.
Assembly was also considered for a new plant under construction in Hunan province, China.
