Beech 2000 Starship "Coming Soon"!

This is gonna be a learning curve for sure but it’ll be a nice feather in the cap, another navigation system to know… you know, in case you ever find yourself in a starship… a guy can dream. It’ll be fun to see where this technology is limited verses a modern 430

Found this website which I believe is from one of the Starship owners and includes a lot of documents, including a POH, which will be very useful when learning to fly Starship

I love these daily highlight videos… I’m assuming these are leading up to launch. The detail is amazing, yea our Avionics can over heat but we’ve simulated overheating based on their location, the airflow from the fans and the thermal heating from the sun… I can’t wait :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

This has been my phone background for about a year now

Another day, another video about this odd aircraft. Love it.

This is going to break all sales records isn’t it?

Oddest thing to me is that Black Square’s ‘B’ logo is in a circle :slight_smile:

OMG, that’s actually kind of hilarious. Maybe time for a rebrand. Or a new logo? Get the Corporate Comms team on it, stat! :slight_smile:

May be a metaphorical allusion to the ‘squaring of the circle’?

For those who use Volanta - It may be worth adding votes to this Add in flight icon for the Beechcraft Starship · Volanta to get a custom icon added or mention it on their Discord server.

V1 Simulation just posted his flight in the starship with the Nick the developer. its a long video but should be very helpful for those who were worried about the avionics and complexity of this old new system. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/W83HsUJvqck

Nick is a guest of Twotonemurphy right now, talking Murph through the plane, its design philosophy, etc. Yeah, I’m not much of a GA guy but I love quirky planes and this one came out while I was an undergrad aerospace engineering student - Day 1 buy for me.

Watching A330’s shared cockpit video with Nick right now. Was trying to think of a mission for this, then I realized I want an RCMP paint to have the coolest flying paddywagon ever.

I was thinking of doing a starship around the world tour. Trying to hit a bunch of unique airports along the way (would love to hit Antarctica)
