	Aero Commander (aircraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aero Commander was a light twin-engined aircraft by Aero Design and Engineering Company part of Rockwell International.
		Beginning in June 1991, senior engineers met with FAA officials to discuss concerns over the Aero Commander's main wing spar, which was believed to be suspectible to stress fatigue and subsequent cracking, and was believed to have resulted in a number of fatal crashes.
		One proof of the strength of the Shrike's design is that Bob Hoover flew an aerobatic act for nearly three decades in the Shrike, with his only accident being as a result of his plane accidentally being loaded with jet fuel, leading to engine failure on takeoff.

	AVSIM Freeware Aircraft Review: Aero Commander
		Beginning in the late 1950s the Aero Commander light twins were to become a landmark design, a design that would fill the needs of the private owner as well as the smaller corporate buyer.
		The Aero Commanders were also able flyers and I personally have logged time in them and they remain one of favored aircraft (real-world).
		Using the same design, Aero Commander was able to accommodate the many needs of their buyers, by lengthening the fuselage and increasing the wing area (not to mention the many different engine combinations), so just about everyone's needs could be fulfilled.

	All Wood Wings: Rockwell 680FL Twin Commander Model
		Aero Design and Engineering formed in 1950 out of the dreams of Ted Smith (previous project engineer at the Douglas Aircraft Company) and a group of fourteen engineers who pooled their skills, resources and imagination to realize their dream of building an aircraft designed especially for business use.
		In 1954 the improved models 560 and 560A appeared - which were so successful that the USAF selected the Aero Commander for the use of President Dwight D. Eisenhower - marking the first use of any light twin-engined aircraft considered safe enough for the President of the United States.
		The Air Force ordered fifteen Aero Commanders of which two were placed in service for White House use.

		The holding that Twin Commander is liable as a successor of the Type Certificates issued by the FAA under 49 U.S.C. § 44704 certifying this aircraft meets federal safety standards, presents a question of first impression and impermissibly goes to the merits at the class certification stage.

		None of the aircraft were purchased in Oklahoma and none of the purchasers are Oklahoma citizens.

		The aircraft required significant upgrades, including new paint, due not only to the condition of the existing finish, but also because of additions such as new wingtips, vertical stabilizer cap and rudder cap.
		The resulting base coat was probably the finest I have ever seen, regardless of the type or value of the aircraft, and the details were performed with corresponding precision and excellence.
		While it is tempting to describe the result as factory new, the simple truth is that the aircraft’s resulting appearance was far better than any Aero Commander that ever came from the factory.

		This new aircraft is quietly being developed by an established aviation company that owns the Aerostar Type Certificate and makes its living supporting the world's fastest reciprocating twin.
		When Aerostar Aircraft was formed in 1991 its principals Steve Speer and Jim Christy believed the future of the company was not only supporting the existing fleet, but also in producing an all new fan jet version of the Aerostar.
		With Aerostar Aircraft Corporation's experienced certification team, the proven certifiable design, and the well documented FAA approval of most of the systems and structure used in the new jet, our certification schedule is both realistic and attainable." These qualifications will allow Aerostar Aircraft to deliver the first all new "Light Jet".
