<b>Aero Commander 500 family</b> is a series of light-twin piston-engined and <a href="/wiki/Turboprop" title="Turboprop">turboprop</a> aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering

title="Rockwell International">Rockwell International</a> in 1965. Final production occurred under the Gulfstream Aerospace name. The initial production version was the 200 mph (320 km/h; 170 kn), seven-seat <b>Aero Commander 520</b>. An improved version, the <b>500S</b>, manufactured after 1967, is known as the <b>Shrike Commander</b>. Larger variants are known by numerous model names and designations, ranging up to the 330 mph (530 km/h; 290 kn), 11-seat Model <b>695B/Jetprop 1000B</b> turboprop.<sup id="cite_ref-marchfield_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-marchfield-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As of recent, the Aero Commander is known as the Twin Commander. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design_and_development">Design and development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aero_Commander_500_family&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Design and development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rockwell_YU-9A_Aero_Commander_%E2%80%980-26218%E2%80%99_(26998882710).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Rockwell_YU-9A_Aero_Commander_%E2%80%980-26218%E2%80%99_%2826998882710%29.jpg/220px-Rockwell_YU-9A_Aero_Commander_%E2%80%980-26218%E2%80%99_%2826998882710%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Rockwell_YU-9A_Aero_Commander_%E2%80%980-26218%E2%80%99_%2826998882710%29.jpg/330px-Rockwell_YU-9A_Aero_Commander_%E2%80%980-26218%E2%80%99_%2826998882710%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Rockwell_YU-9A_Aero_Commander_%E2%80%980-26218%E2%80%99_%2826998882710%29.jpg/440px-Rockwell_YU-9A_Aero_Commander_%E2%80%980-26218%E2%80%99_%2826998882710%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5451" data-file-height="3634" /></a><figcaption>The first model, the five-seat 520, was certified in January 1952 with two 260 HP <a href="/wiki/Lycoming_GO-435" class="mw-redirect" title="Lycoming GO-435">Lycoming GO-435s</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The idea for the Commander light business twin was conceived by <a href="/wiki/Ted_R._Smith" title="Ted R.

Eight passengers, including honeymooners and a family with two children, boarded the single-pilot aircraft. 30 minutes after departure a distress call was made by the pilot with no future communications made. Only some minor wreckage was ever recovered. During the investigation a number of safety breaches by the operator were discovered including regular operations with overweight aircraft, inaccessible safety equipment & illegal regular public transport operations when the operator was only approved to operate charter flights. The incident was a significant one to occur in Australia & lead to a $20 million royal commission which resulted into fundamental changes to the governing aviation body in Australia. <sup
