Rockwell Commander 112

The Rockwell Commander 112 is a four-seat, single-engine, low-wing general aviation aircraft with retractable tricycle landing gear, designed and built by North American Rockwell and later Rockwell International from 1972. It grew out of the Aero Commander division line that Rockwell planned in 1970 and was meant to compete with the Piper Cherokee and Beechcraft Bonanza on cabin room and strength. A turbocharged 112TC and the six-cylinder Commander 114 followed in 1976. About 1,300 examples of all models were built before the production line closed in 1980, and the rights later passed to Gulfstream, then to Commander Aircraft Company, which built the improved 114B from 1992.
