这 比奇星际飞船 是山毛榉飞机公司生产的双涡轮螺旋桨六至八人加压公务机。以其不寻常的鸭翼设计和碳纤维复合材料的广泛使用而著称，它并没有卖出很多单位，并且在1995年停止生产，距离星际飞船首次飞行仅六年。

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) |
|---|---|
| 作用 | Executive/Corporate Transport |
| 制造商 | Beechcraft (Raytheon) |
| First Flight (Prototype) | August 1983 |
| 船员 | 1 or 2 pilots |
| 能力 | 6–8 passengers |
| 翼展 | 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.
