The Beechcraft Starship 2000 was an extremely innovative design when it was released in 1986. The luxury plane includes two pusher propeller turbo prop engines, two forewings known as “Canards,” and two large winglets on the main wings that Beechcraft called “tip sails.” Furthermore, the Starship is the first pressurized all-composite turboprop aircraft. Beechcraft made 53 Starships, and though they were eventually recalled, they pushed the aircraft industry into the age of composite materials. This Starship was the 41st off the line, and was donated by Raytheon in 2003. Many of the planes were destroyed as part of the recall, making this plane one of the few intact examples. Please help us to restore this unique plane, so that this emblem of 1980s optimism can endure.
