similar aircraft in which john denver died in. |
The only thing similar is that its a push prop, the starship is pretty huge. Denver died in a tiny composite plane. |

size doesnt mean that it isnt similar. it was designed by the same guy! Burt Rutan, who at the time wasnt with Scaled composites when he designed the Long-EZ. they are both canard type and pusher aircraft. they do have significant design differences as the long-ez was something released 10 years prior to the starship, but they still had a lot of similar design elements.
also they are both composite aircraft. the starship and the long-ez.

No dude. Its all about the less obvious planes.
That Spartan Executive I posted, man they are so rare (only 34 ever built, 22 still flying), and so ing nice.
Huge radial engine, polished aluminum exterior, large interior, retractable wheels.
Pretty much what I would buy if I had a few million bucks. |
