Tthe 비치크래프트 우주선 Beech Aircraft Corporation에서 생산 한 트윈 터보프롭 6-8 인승 가압 비즈니스 항공기입니다. 특이한 카나드 디자인과 탄소 섬유 복합재의 광범위한 사용으로 유명했던 이 회사는 많은 대를 판매하지 않았고 스타십의 첫 비행 후 불과 6년 후인 1995년에 생산이 중단되었습니다.

General Characteristics
The Beechcraft Starship was a radical, twin-turboprop business aircraft developed in the 1980s. Designed by Burt Rutan’s Scaled Composites, it was groundbreaking for its all-composite airframe, rear-mounted pusher propellers, and forward canard wings, though it was a commercial failure.
| Property | Value (2000A Production Model) |
|---|---|
| 역할 | Executive/Corporate Transport |
| 제조업체 | Beechcraft (Raytheon) |
| First Flight (Prototype) | August 1983 |
| 승무원 | 1 or 2 pilots |
| 용량 | 6–8 passengers |
| 윙스 팬 | 16.6 m (54 ft 4 in) |
| Max Takeoff Weight | 6,580 kg (14,500 lb) |
Design and Powerplant
- Engines: Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67 turboprop engines.
- Power Output: 932 kW (1,250 hp) each (flat rated to 1,000 hp for takeoff).
- Propellers: Five-bladed Hartzell pusher propellers located behind the wing.
- Fuselage/Structure: The airframe was almost entirely constructed of advanced carbon fiber composite materials—one of the largest civilian aircraft of its time to use this technology.
- Canard Design: Features a forward canard wing with winglets, making it a very stable and stall-resistant design. The main wing has a significant sweep.
- Key Difference (2000A): This variant incorporated several improvements over the initial 2000 model, including higher cruise speeds and increased gross weight.
Performance and History
- Maximum Cruise Speed: 620 km/h (385 mph, 335 knots) at 30,000 ft.
- Maximum Range: Approximately 2,800 km (1,740 miles).
- Service Ceiling: 12,500 m (41,000 ft).
- Cockpit: Featured a “glass cockpit,” using the Collins EFIS-86 system, which was very advanced for a business aircraft of the late 1980s.
- Commercial Status: Only 53 Starships were ever built, making it a major commercial disappointment for Beechcraft due to its high development cost, long gestation period, and complexity.
- End of Life: Most Starships were repurchased by the manufacturer in the early 2000s and scrapped to reduce liability and maintenance costs, though a small handful remain in private hands.
