Beechcraft Starship
The Beechcraft Starship is a futuristic-looking aircraft designed by Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites, and produced by the Beech Aircraft Corporation. While in development at Scaled, the 85%-scale prototype was the Model 115, though Beechcraft referred to the production version as the Model 2000. The Model 115 is currently being used as a chase plane for SpaceShipOne. Beechcraft recently deemed that the aircraft was no longer popular enough for them to justify their support costs, and has since begun aggressively buying and scrapping any Starships for sale in order to cut costs.
