- steel tube and aluminiumA welded steel-tube frame carries the loads, with aluminium (and some fibreglass) skins over it. The first M20 and M20A (1955 to 1960) had wooden wings and tails; all later ones are metal. This is how the Mooney M-20 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
