An improved version, the 500S, manufactured after 1967, is known as the Shrike Commander. Larger variants are known by numerous model names and designations, ranging up to the 330 mph (530 km/h; 290 kn), 11-seat Model 695B/Jetprop 1000B turboprop. [1] As of recent, the Aero Commander is known as the Twin Commander.
Then, in 1925, he started the American Eagle Aircraft Corporation.
