Jordan Brown, e-mail, 24.11.2015 20:02 Did anyone notice that the new Honda biz jet has the same engine configuration as this plane? The engines mounted on the wings rather than on the body. I guess the patent must have run out. reply | Robert S, 02.05.2012 03:22 This was Rutan's original prototype biz jet built for Beechcraft. Beechcraft chose the unsuccessful Starship design instead. reply | Don A&P Mech, e-mail, 23.03.2011 19:26 This looks like a close concept copy of the Beech Starship which did not make production either. Still a cool A /C and fast too. Those turboprops must have been starving at a 41,000ft service ceiling, the props that is. reply | Scott Boyd, e-mail, 28.01.2010 01:20 I saw this one when I went to watch the Spaceship 1 first flight. Had bicycles so we could get around the complex pretty easily.
Too bad it never made production. reply |
