 {| |} beginning in the late 1950s the united states aircraft company bay aviation (formerly oakland airmotive) produced nine twin-engine conversions of the beechcraft bonanza called the super "v" bonanza. after production was shifted to canada in 1962, five more aircraft were built for a total production run of fourteen. the basis of the conversion was the early model 35 bonanza with the original small v-tail surfaces. the super-v competed with beechcraft's own travel air twin-engine bonanza derivative. ==history== === development === the super-v is an extensive conversion of the beechcraft model 35 bonanza. serial number records indicate the aircraft chosen for conversion range in production dates from 1947-1950. the original conversion was developed by david peterson as the "skyline super-v" in 1955-56, assisted by w.d. johnson, and the rights to the conversion were acquired by oakland airmotive on july 2, 1958. oakland airmotive became bay aviation services on july 8, 1960. the main wing spar was strengthened considerably in the process. the airframe is so different from the original bonanza that, rather than supplementing the original type certificate, the us federal aviation administration (faa) issued a completely new certificate for the super-v.{{cite web |url=http://rgl.faa.gov/regulatory_and_guidance_library/rgmakemodel.nsf/0/c953ec81cc9e5376852567380065affc/$file/4a29.pdf |t
