Pardon my ignorance, but what's an MU-2?

I don't know much about aircraft, but I know a little about this one.

It's a very cool looking corporate twin-turboprop airplane. I once saw one back up under its own power to get into position for its takeoff run at a rural airport.

The first-stage compressor blade circle is about the same diameter as the blower in a canister-style vacuum cleaner. Somewhat more expensive, I'll wager.

I always thought that ability to change prop-pitch to reverse thrust would make me a little nervous about flying in one. If it happened in flight it could really ruin your day.

Go to Google.com, click on Images, paste "Mitsubishi MU-2" into the box, then click search.
