I had the amazing opportunity during The 2018 Beech Party at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tullahoma, TN to watch The Beechcraft Starship N723SC prepare to leave the event and take off from Runway 36 at KTHA! I don't expect that I'll forget this experience anytime soon! Special thanks to the Parish Family and everyone else involved to make the 2018 Beech Party an outstanding event. I can't wait till next year. If you have never attended, please make plans to join us. If you enjoy aviation, I promise that you won't be disappointed! Blue Skies!

Years ago I had the good fortune to see this incredible aircraft above Bakalar airport in Columbus IN. What made me look upwards was that I could hear the fan wash loud and clear but not the engines. Kind of like a giant hummingbird! I was mesmerized by the incredible experience of seeing one fly!

4/2024: Hello From The Future. Around 1996 at an air show at Williams Gateway Airport in Mesa Arizona, I had the pleasure of going inside one of these. Always loved them. Nice video. Thank You

These used to fly right over my house in Andover, KS when I was a kid. I wish they had been more successful. Such an iconic aircraft.

Back in June of 2000 I found myself at the airport in Great Bend Kansas. I peeked into the window of an old quanset hanger and my eyeballs about popped out. Inside were 5 yes 5 Starships packed in tight. I tried the door and it was unlocked I must have spent an hour walking around amongst all that wonderfulness.

We need to salute Burt Rutan for fulfilling a dream! Sure it had its problems then demise. But, he still did it. And look what he is doing today and has done since. He was pushing the envelope in quite a few areas that weren't yet mainstream integrations...If you want a modern-day and very capable and truly beautiful pusher step into and fly a Piaggio Avanti P180!

I heard that there are only five starships that are still airworthy today. To see two side-by-side is incredible. They always had a sound that set themselves apart from every other turboprop.

2:33 the pilot has to stand in the cockpit!? 😳😉 It was back in 1987/88, I was 17, visiting America for the first time, when I was invited to Beechcraft in Wichita, Ks. The conditions were: no camera's allowed, and shut up about it! There they took me and 3-4 other students in to their "secret facility" where we got to see this beautiful bird - quite some time before it was presented to the public. It was like walking around the Enterprice to me, the wings with tipsail (I think it's called) at the back and the smaller ones at the front, just made it look out of this world. My host father at the time worked as an engineer at Boeing. He had only heard rumors and seen the plane during a test flight, but to high for him to get any details. He almost went through the roof when I got home and told him where I had been that day 😆 PS: I'm curious, why do they start one engine at a time?

What a great plane. It has the performance of a jet. What I don't know is the necessary distance for take-off/landing, any body knows?

@coolhari2000 5 жыл бұрын

Those are Turbo-Props. i.e. jet engines. So their performance is expected.

@planefixerguy5188 3 жыл бұрын

Eh, even an old Slow-tation citation is faster. Range wasn't great, speed wasn't great, cabin isn't any bigger or nicer than a king air 90, pusher props were noisy, and you could get in to jets for as much or less at the time. A big reason it didn't sell. Beautiful plane, always wondered what could have been if perhaps had JT-15 jets instead. Old Beech employees I've talked to have a love/hate thing with the starship. Love and are proud of the design but hate it as a lot of effort went into that while Cessna and Lear across town were focusing on jets and Beech kind of fell behind because of it and were always playing catch up on jets, clear up to Cessna buying them out.

@robertborchert932 Жыл бұрын

Beechcraft. Nuff said. This aircraft competed with the King Air, their problem was that the more conventional King Air was doing just fine. Remember, this was a completely new project for Beechcraft. Rutan engineered an absolute monster here, it was the first composite airframe. Truth, they overbuilt it. The Starship has no expiration date for the fuselage. Problem with certified aircraft is that you must use original components. Well, Beechcraft decided that the conventional King Air was the way to go. I can't fault Beechcraft for this, I love the King Air, it's superb. Comfortable, I'm tall at 6'1". The Lear is a missile, it's fun, but boy I'm here to tell ya, love the Beech. Sometimes, business and innovation come to loggerheads. Think Beechcraft should have pushed the envelope just a bit longer, but I understand.

I believe those are the only two left. Majority of them were never sold and only leased. When they came off of lease Beech crushed them. I have ties to Wichita and there are a lot of myths and rumors around them. One I heard was that Beech wanted to put jets on them to make them more competitive with the Lear and Citation fleet but Rutan wouldn't hear of it. Heard another that early in the prototypes they hadn't gotten the bonding mesh in the composite down quite right and they were burning holes in the composite from static discharge. Who knows. Myths and rumors.

As of September 2020, only six Starships remain airworthy. Two of the last remaining airworthy Beechcraft Starships (NC-33 and NC-50) are owned and operated by an engineering firm in Addison, Texas. NC-33 lost its data plate when it was scrapped, was subsequently registered in Mexico, but when brought back to the USA, the FAA pulled its certificate. It is now registered in the experimental category as N903SC.[44] The other airworthy Starships are located in Oklahoma (NC-35 and NC-45), Colorado (NC-51), and Germany (NC-29, though registered with the FAA by a company in Delaware).
