Th Starship was a learning tool for Raytheon, their first attempt at composites in that scale, was hand laidup and wit their limited experiance/ knowedge then, it came out much heavier than intended.

The lessons learned have been applied to teh Premier 1 Jet, i hear two average strength giys can lift the fuselage barel without straining at all. The techmology of that Viper machine for fuselages is the way of the future.
