This head-on view of the new Beechcraft Starship 1 design clearly shows some of its unusual features, such as the tandem wings and extended winglets — these control surfaces are over 2.3 metres long, rising from the tips of the larger aft swept wing. Power is derived from twin pusher propfans, located inboard, above and to the rear of the aft wing. The shorter length forward wing employs variable geometry.
