The Beechcraft Starship is a twin-turboprop, six- to eight-passenger, pressurized, business aircraft produced by Beech Aircraft Corporation. Featuring a canard wing design (not to be confused with a tandem wing), extensive use of carbon-fiber composite, and pusher propellers, it is notable as the first civilian aircraft certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to make extensive use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composite construction.
