Long Body

The Mitsubishi MU-2 long models are primarily differentiated from their short-body counterparts by having an additional six feet in length in the fuselage. Depending on the seating configuration, the long-body models typically seat 8-11: 7-9 passenger seats and 2 crew seats. There are several seating configuration options available including those with a belted lavatory. There is one large aft baggage area and no external baggage compartments.

Short Body

The short-body MU-2 can seat up to 8 depending upon the configuration: 5-6 passengers and 2 crew seats. The shorter fuselage allows for only 2 different seating configurations. The most common consists of a bench and 2 aft facing seats, and the less common replaces an aft-facing seat with a 2-person bench. All baggage compartments on the short-body MU-2 are external. One pressurized compartment near the entrance door that spans the width of the fuselage and another unpressurized compartment on the lower right fuselage that allows for a hanging wardrobe.
