Maybe Beechcraft could dust off some of Rutan's designs and build a modern aircraft.
They did - the Beech Starship.

Brilliant concept, economics looked good. 53 built but ahead of their time and very few were sold. Beech scrapped the final airframes and are trying to buy back the remaining Starships in service to avoid the cost of supporting the remaining aircraft.
