Business travellers may fly into the future on planes like Starship I, developed by Beech Aircraft Corporation. Its body made of lightweight composites, the plane combines technologies that will mark some of the next generation’s aircraft. Rear-mounted engines reduce propeller noise in passenger compartment and cockpit, while tipsails on the wings work like boat sails for added push. Small wings near the nose makes the plane safer at low speeds.
