The Beechcraft Bonanza, which began production in 1947, has undergone many changes and variations from the classic trademark V-tail design of the original 35-series. Conventional horizontal and vertical tail configurations, changes in fuselage length and engine horsepower were part of the ongoing evolution. The Beechcraft Bonanza remains one the highest performance single-engine general aviation aircraft.
Dimensions
Configured as a single-engine, low-wing, six-person aircraft with retractable tricycle-style landing gear, the G36 Bonanza is 27.5 feet long with a wingspan of 33.5 feet. The highest vertical distance from the ground to its straight tail is 8.5 feet, 6 inches. The G36 has a wing area of 181 square feet.
Engine
A Teledyne Continental IO-550-B engine with 300 horsepower is the power plant used in the G-series Bonanza. It spins an 80-inch diameter Hartzel three-blade constant-speed propeller. A 100 ampere-hour alternator supplies the electrical power.
Weight
The standard empty weight of this Bonanza aircraft is 2,530 lbs. Maximum ramp weight is 3,663 lbs., which allows for engine run-up, burning of fuel and taxi waiting time in order to reach a maximum gross takeoff weight of 3,650 lbs. Maximum useful load is 1,133 lbs. Useful payload, with full fuel, is 689 lbs. Total fuel capacity is 80 gallons with 74 gallons usable. Baggage capacity is 270 lbs. with 47 cubic feet available and located behind the rear seats.
Performance
The takeoff distance ground roll on an unobstructed level airstrip, assisted with flaps, is 1,000 feet. The horizontal takeoff distance needed to clear a 50-foot vertical obstacle using flaps is 1,913 feet. The necessary ground roll distance with flaps up is 1,250 feet. Takeoff distance over a 50-foot obstacle with flaps up is 2,130 feet. The G-series rate of climb at sea level is 1,230 feet per minute. Landing distance required after clearing a 50-foot obstacle is 1,500 feet. Landing distance on a level unobstructed runway requires ground roll of 950 feet. The Bonanza's service ceiling is 18,500 feet. Maximum crosswind capability is 17 knots.
Airspeeds
The recommended best angle of climb airspeed for the G36 is 84 knots indicated airspeed. Best rate of climb is 100 knots. The designed maneuvering speed for the aircraft is 141 knots while maximum full-flap deployed speed is 124 knots. Landing approach flap deployment and retractable landing gear operations, or flying with landing gear down, are never to exceed a maximum speed of 154 knots. The G36 Bonanza has a maximum structural cruising speed of 167 knots and a never-exceed speed of 205 knots. The Bonanza has a flaps-up takeoff rotation speed of 73 knots and a flaps-deployed rotation speed of 67 knots. The stall speed of the plane is 68 knots with gear retracted and flaps up, and 61 knots with flaps and landing gear deployed.
