Beechcraft Starship – PlaneHistoria
Beechcraft Starship 2000s was the epitome of luxury personal transportation. It was a beautiful design but ultimately failed. Nowadays, this is a very rare aircraft, and you'd be extremely lucky if you saw one in person in your lifetime. Normally, the Starship would replace the King Air. It was faster and could seat more passengers, up to a maximum of eight.
This was not what you would call a successful aircraft. Beechcraft only sold 11 in three years despite the space-age design. To help alleviate this, they began offering two-year lease deals. But ultimately this did not turn things around for the Starship. In comparison to some other aircraft at the time, it was expensive and slower. Costing a cool $3.9 million in the late 80s it certainly wasn’t what you’d call cheap. This was similar to private jets and over $1 million more expensive than equivalent propeller-driven aircraft with higher performance. For more about aircraft visit our website.
