Behold! The Banana...correction Bonanza! Specifically the Model 35 here, the Bonanza line of aircraft have been in continuous production longer than any other airplane in history. Launched in 1947, these birds have become an icon of the general aviation industry. The Model 35 is famous for its unique v-tail design, which combines the elevators and rudder into two "ruddervators".
This aircraft has acquired an infamous nickname, "The Doctor Killer" over the years due to some high-profile accidents. These were caused in part by poor decision making and unfamiliarity to what was at the time a complex general aviation aircraft. They're fun to fly, fast, retro, and available to print right at your desk. Enjoy!

The orthographic three-view I used as the primary reference. This one was fun in that it provided not only the views but cross-sections and airfoil profiles to draw out.
