Conosci l'aereo

Beechcraft's Starship departed sharply from the conventional King Air outline. The main wing sits aft, a small forward wing provides the canard arrangement, and two pusher propellers turn behind the cabin. Extensive carbon-fibre construction was another defining part of the programme.

Its avionics were equally ambitious for the period. Black Square's simulation centres on the AMS-850 flight deck, including display reversion and supporting systems such as avionics cooling.

The smaller aircraft that tested the idea

Before Beech committed to the production Starship, Scaled Composites built a smaller demonstrator to provide performance and handling information quickly. Model 115 was an 85-percent-scale version of the proposed full-size aircraft, with registration N2000S. Scaled dates its first flight to 29 August 1983.

The company describes a nine-month fabrication effort followed by the first 100 flight-test hours in 35 days. That compressed programme explains the purpose of the smaller aircraft: it was a flying development tool used to inform Beech’s production decision. Photographs and accounts of Model 115 therefore concern a different airframe from the later full-size production Starships.

An ambitious successor

Beech explored the Starship as a successor to its King Air turboprops. Scaled Composites built a smaller proof-of-concept aircraft before the full-size prototypes flew. Composite construction, forward lifting surfaces and rear-facing propellers made the production aircraft unmistakable. The development aircraft and production Model 2000 were materially different, so their dates and specifications should not be treated as interchangeable.

Development milestones

First flight: February 15, 1986

Living with NC-51

Scherer describes flying his own Starship as a surprisingly familiar activity despite the aircraft's unusual outline. In his owner-written FAQ, he says the control inputs work as they do in a conventional aeroplane and praises the spacious flight deck. His strongest impressions concern the ride and sound: he recalls a gentle rocking motion in turbulence and a cabin quiet enough for ordinary conversation. Up front, he notices cooling fans and airflow more than the propeller noise a visitor might expect.

The attachment is personal as well as practical. Checking in with air traffic control brings interested responses, and the aircraft attracts a crowd on the ramp. Scherer also reports exceptionally reliable dispatch during his own years operating NC-51. That is his experience with one maintained aircraft, expressed by an enthusiastic owner. His account conveys why somebody would keep flying a rare type after its manufacturer had withdrawn from supporting the fleet.

A test pilot remembers the difficult early years

Carr's recollections come from unusually broad experience of the Starship programme. In Huber's 2004 report, the Beech test pilot says he flew 30 of the 53 airframes and spent hundreds of hours training customers. He remembers the first full-scale aircraft's February 1986 flight with Bud Francis, including a Valentine's decoration intended for Olive Ann Beech. Those memories place the aircraft alongside the people trying to bring it into service.

His assessment of the programme is candid. Early reliability problems damaged the Starship's reputation, while later examples benefited from improvements that customers did not necessarily recognise. Looking back, he thought another year spent reducing weight and resolving reliability and handling issues might have changed its prospects. He regarded the announcement that production would stop at NC-53 as particularly damaging. These are a participant's retrospective judgments about a troubled introduction, alongside his extensive direct experience flying the aircraft.

Burt Rutan finally flies the production aircraft

Hansen recounts an unexpected visit to Mojave in July 2003. Robert Scherer arrived in NC-51 and offered Burt Rutan a flight in a production Starship. Rutan had flown the smaller proof-of-concept aircraft but, according to Hansen, had not yet flown the full-size production version. A meeting ended as engineers and pilots went outside to see it, reconnecting with a design on which some had worked years earlier.

Rutan flew with Scherer, and members of the White Knight and SpaceShipOne pilot team also went along. Hansen describes their delighted return and records Rutan's later enthusiastic assessment of how the aircraft flew. The visit led to Scherer's invitation to fly Starship chase missions for SpaceShipOne. This is a reported recollection of a particular encounter, with the appeal of the aircraft expressed through its designer and the people who flew it that day.

Come il profilo lo modella

Beechcraft Starship

Free + Pro

MSFS 2024MSFS 2020

This starting point selects Beechcraft Starship. Its aircraft-level settings do not select a particular developer’s custom systems.

Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.

Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is enabled for supported control references.

Controls and trim

The Starship combines a canard layout with twin pusher turboprops. Black Square documents separate trim arming and mode circuits and dual flight-control computers. Its mistrim flags approximate opposition because ordinary desktop torque cannot be measured; input displacement can prevent autopilot engagement. Autopilot pitch and roll knobs select attitude and bank. Shaker and column-pusher functions are distinct from an ordinary stall-buffet cue.

Starship operations manual

About the values

The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.

Master gain & control system

Master gain85%

La scala finale complessiva applicata a tutto ciò che il modello produce, prima del limite del dispositivo.

Più: tutto (molla, carichi, effetti) si rafforza insieme.

Meno: tutto si ammorbidisce insieme.

Perché qui: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.

Forces

Spring strength74%

La forza di centraggio di base che riporta la barra al centro. Ogni altra forza si somma a questa. Troppo bassa e la barra sembra molle in volo normale; troppo alta e combatte la mano, mascherando i segnali più piccoli sovrapposti.

Più: un centraggio più fermo che resiste di più alla mano.

Meno: una barra più molle che conta solo sul carico aerodinamico.

Perché qui: The selected canard-aircraft yoke response remains a force approximation; attitude/bank selections and mistrim annunciations are not physical hand-force measurements. The baseline spring is 0.74. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 90 KIAS.

Starship operations manual

Spring deadband5%

Una piccola zona neutra attorno al centro dove la molla resta silenziosa, così i micro-movimenti a riposo non vibrano. Più larga è più tranquilla ma più lasca; più stretta è più precisa ma può fremere attorno al centro.

Più: un centro più calmo ma più lasco, con più gioco.

Meno: un centro più serrato che può fremere a riposo.

Perché qui: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.

Overall aerodynamic load68%

Una scala maestra su entrambi i carichi d'asse sostenuti, applicata prima del loro bilanciamento indipendente. Di norma i profili la lasciano stare e regolano i due carichi d'asse.

Più: entrambi gli assi caricano più forte.

Meno: entrambi gli assi si alleggeriscono insieme.

Perché qui: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.68 with an indicated-speed reference of 220 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.

Airspeed blendingTrue

Attiva la finestra di innesto della molla a bassa velocità (nodi di inizio/pieno qui sopra). Spento, la molla è costante a ogni velocità.

Perché qui: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.

Low-speed spring floor55%

Quanta molla sopravvive da fermo, prima che la velocità possa generare forza aerodinamica. Un pavimento alto tiene salda la barra parcheggiata; uno basso dà la sensazione lasca, da cavi allentati, di un aereo leggero in sosta.

Più: una barra più salda in sosta e al rullaggio.

Meno: una barra molle da fermo che si sveglia solo con la velocità.

Perché qui: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.

Spring engagement start20 kt

La velocità a cui la molla comincia a salire dal suo pavimento di bassa velocità verso la piena forza: i comandi che «prendono vita» in corsa di decollo.

Perché qui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.

Spring engagement full90 kt

La velocità a cui la molla raggiunge la piena forza. Tra l'inizio e questo punto il centraggio si irrigidisce progressivamente man mano che il flusso cresce sui comandi.

Perché qui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.

Velocità di regolazione della forza220

La velocità indicata a cui il carico aerodinamico raggiunge il livello pieno di progetto. Ancora l'intera curva di carico al reale intervallo di velocità dell'aereo: un 172 carica verso 110 nodi, un jet molto più tardi.

Più: i carichi arrivano più tardi; la barra resta leggera fino a velocità più alte.

Meno: i carichi arrivano prima e la crociera pesa di più.

Perché qui: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.

Centre firmness vs speed10%

Quanto il centraggio stesso si irrigidisce con la velocità, oltre ai carichi da deflessione. Zero mantiene costante la sensazione del centro; di più fa centrare la barra più dura in crociera e più lasca in circuito.

Più: un centro che si indurisce nettamente con la velocità.

Meno: una sensazione di centro costante a ogni velocità.

Perché qui: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0.1. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 90 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 5.

Centre stiffening cap5

Il limite superiore all'irrigidimento del centro dovuto alla velocità, così il volo molto veloce non può caricare la molla senza limite.

Più: più irrigidimento totale concesso ad alta velocità.

Meno: l'irrigidimento si ferma prima.

Perché qui: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.

Aileron load72%

Il carico sostenuto di rollio da deflessione degli alettoni e velocità, bilanciato indipendentemente dal beccheggio. Insieme al carico dell'equilibratore fissa il rapporto di armonia dei comandi di cui parlano le recensioni.

Più: sforzi di rollio più pesanti.

Meno: alettoni più leggeri e scattanti.

Perché qui: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.72 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.

Elevator load100%

Il carico sostenuto di beccheggio da deflessione dell'equilibratore e velocità, bilanciato indipendentemente dal rollio. È la leva principale dietro il peso di beccheggio di un tipo. Non tocca alettoni, molla, trim né forze di buffet.

Più: sforzi di beccheggio sostenuti più pesanti in velocità.

Meno: una profondità più leggera, meno muscolosa da tenere.

Perché qui: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.

Max output force55%

Un tetto su ogni forza stabile di beccheggio o rollio prima che raggiunga il dispositivo, a protezione da colpi o saturazioni dell'hardware nelle manovre energiche.

Più: picchi di forza stabile più alti prima del taglio.

Meno: un tetto più morbido; le manovre dure si appiattiscono prima.

Perché qui: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.

Trim

Trim relief (elevator)30%

Quanto il trim di profondità allevia lo sforzo di beccheggio mantenuto e sposta dove la barra si assesta. Al 100 %, un aereo trimmato bene non richiede pressione mantenuta: il flusso di lavoro trimma-via-il-carico del volo reale.

Più: il trim toglie più sforzo mantenuto; al 100 %, trim pieno lo annulla.

Meno: continui a tenere sforzo anche trimmato.

Perché qui: Trim setup is documented on pitch, roll and yaw, but the profile's trim relief does not reproduce dual-FCC trim arming or simulated mistrim logic. Pitch authority 0.3 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.14.

Starship operations manual

Trim relief (aileron)14%

Lo stesso sollievo per il trim di rollio. La maggior parte dei tipi di aviazione generale non ha un vero trim degli alettoni, quindi resta a zero; i tipi con trim di rollio ricevono un valore corrispondente.

Più: il trim di rollio toglie più sforzo mantenuto.

Meno: il trim di rollio fa meno.

Perché qui: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.

Effect gains · Ground

Runway rumble42%

Vibrazione di rotolamento da velocità delle ruote e tipo di superficie: asfalto, erba o ghiaia sotto il carrello.

Più: una texture di superficie più forte nella barra.

Meno: un rullaggio più liscio.

Perché qui: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.

Gear bumps32%

Colpi brevi e discreti da giunti di dilatazione, solchi e superficie irregolare, che punteggiano il rombo continuo.

Più: colpi più netti da giunti e solchi.

Meno: dettagli del suolo più morbidi.

Perché qui: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.

Effect gains · Airframe

Stall buffet28%

Scuotimento della cellula in avvicinamento allo stallo e con l'avviso attivo: quanto forte quest'ala annuncia di essere scontenta. I tipi con distacco netto ricevono buffet modesto e lasciano l'avviso alla sirena.

Più: un tremito pre-stallo più forte.

Meno: un'ala più discreta; la sirena porta l'avviso.

Perché qui: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.

Mach buffet0%

Buffet transonico in avvicinamento al limite di Mach. Significativo per i jet vicino a MMO, zero per pistoni e turboelica che non ci arrivano mai.

Più: un buffet transonico più forte vicino al limite di Mach.

Meno: un volo più liscio ad alto Mach.

Perché qui: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.

Flap buffet14%

Vibrazione a bassa frequenza della cellula con i flap estesi nel flusso, nella finestra di velocità in cui lavorano davvero l'aria.

Più: un volo più ruvido con i flap al lavoro.

Meno: flap d'avvicinamento più morbidi.

Perché qui: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.

Gear buffet10%

Il tambureggiare della cellula per il carrello retrattile appeso nel flusso. Zero per i tipi a carrello fisso, dove la cellula non cambia mai forma.

Più: più tambureggiare col carrello fuori.

Meno: un volo col carrello fuori più pulito.

Perché qui: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.

Stick shaker50%

Il ronzio dedicato dello stick shaker di stallo, attivato dal sistema di avviso dell'aereo stesso. Solo i tipi con un vero shaker ricevono un valore; tutti gli altri si affidano al buffet aerodinamico e alla sirena.

Più: uno shaker più duro.

Meno: uno shaker più discreto.

Perché qui: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.

Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag

Touchdown thump82%

Il colpo singolo quando le ruote toccano la pista, scalato dal rateo di discesa: un atterraggio di velluto sussurra, un arrivo deciso batte.

Più: un colpo più duro al contatto.

Meno: arrivi più morbidi.

Perché qui: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.

Reverse rumble48%

Vibrazione in corsa mentre lavorano l'inversione di spinta o le eliche in beta. Zero per i tipi senza reverse.

Più: una corsa più ruvida in reverse.

Meno: una reverse più discreta.

Perché qui: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.

Engine rumble6%

Vibrazione continua del propulsore che segue i giri tra minimo e piena potenza, il promemoria sempre presente che qualcosa brucia carburante davanti.

Più: più motore nella barra.

Meno: un motore più discreto.

Perché qui: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.

Flap motion12%

Vibrazione continua solo mentre il simulatore riporta le superfici dei flap davvero in movimento. Segue il moto reale dell'attuatore e i guasti, non un timer stimato.

Più: più vibrazione coi flap in movimento.

Meno: corse dei flap più discrete.

Perché qui: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.

Autopilot follow

AP follow authority10%

Quanto i comandi dell'autopilota possono muovere fisicamente la barra. Tenuto minuscolo in MSFS, dove un asse mosso può essere riletto come ingresso del pilota; zero disattiva del tutto il seguito.

Più: l'autopilota muove visibilmente di più la tua barra.

Meno: un seguito appena percettibile.

Perché qui: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
