  The Beechcraft Bonanza
Beech Aircraft Corporation, confident in its manufacturing capacity after building more than 7,000 combat aircraft during World War II, positioned itself for the postwar era by designing a revolutionary single-engine aircraft with a V-tail configuration that trimmed weight without compromising control.
Beech decided to showcase the Bonanza's performance and reliability by sponsoring William Odom's world-record attempt for the longest non-stop solo flight.
Twenty-seven Beech Model 36 Bonanza aircraft were modified to serve as remote, unpiloted relay drones to be used in monitoring acoustic signaling devices planted along the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the Vietnam War.

 [No title]
Beech attempted to make it rugged enough to stand up to the many unpaved strips in use then; even the wing's angle of incidence (a lot of it by today's standards) and the gear placement were aimed at making this nosedragger survive cobbly strips.
Beech introduced the H35 as a 1957 model, and it was the beginning of a whole new generation of Bonanzas.
Beech even installed a pair of kiddie-sized "family seats" in the baggage bay; but unless you carry anvils under the hood, it's unlikely that the occupants can be very heavy without shooting out the aft end of the weight and balance chart.

 Beechcraft Bonanza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cessna was unable to compete with the more-advanced Bonanza (although it was the progenitor of the highly successful Cessna 172 and its variants).
Note that the twin-engine variant of the Bonanza is called the Baron, whereas the Twin Bonanza is a completely different design not based on the original single-engine Bonanza.
A Beechcraft 35 Bonanza was the aircraft Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper died in when the aircraft crashed in the middle of a snowstorm (see The Day the Music Died).

Beech initially attributed this to pilot error, and it did seem that a majority of the break-ups were associated with bad weather conditions.
Beech apparently was aware that the structural margin on the tail was inadequate, because the purpose of the modifications was to increase the strength of the tail.
Beech offered to retrofit, free of charge, the very early models with a strengthened wing, but this proved to be almost as expensive to Beech as producing a new airplane, and the company stopped actively encouraging owners to receive the retrofit.

The introduction of the Beech Model 35 Bonanza in 1947 caused a stir in aviation circles.
The primary advantage of the Bonanza’s V-tail was a reduction in the number of parts in the tail assembly and in its weight.
The Bonanza was an immediate hit with some 1000 aircraft delivered in the first year alone.

 Beech 35 Bonanza "Waikiki Beach"
Beech Aircraft Corporation sponsored both of these record-breaking flights to demonstrate the efficiency and dependability of its airplane.
he Waikiki Beech was the fourth Bonanza built: the only modifications made to the otherwise standard Model 35 were the fixtures and tubing required to install the extra fuel tanks, 126 gallons in the cabin and a 62-gallon streamlined tank on each wing tip.
The Bonanza is regarded as a classic aircraft design of the post-World War II era and is easily identified by its distinctive V-tail.

 Beech S-35 Bonanza
The S-35 was the first "modern" looking Bonanza with the third cabin window, which really improves the look (I've seen some older Bonanzas with the third window retrofitted).
The other unusual thing about the Bonanza (and Beech aircraft with the same landing gear) is that it has inner gear doors.

The Beech A36 from Phoenix Simulation Software is another fine example of what I consider to be a great add-on for FS 2000.

It is basically a slightly lengthened {0.25m/10in) version of the V-tailed Model 35B, combining the conventional tail unit of the Model 33, and the strengthened landing gear developed for the Beech Baron.

I read that later, Beech was so upset with Scaled Composites that, when their scaled flight test model of the Starship was returned to Beech, they destroyed it immediately.
Also, I believe that Beech discovered the load-bearing structures had to be made much heavier than originally theorized, since this characteristic isn't a forte of composites.
