I thought all the Starships were scrapped or grounded at least - how many still flying and with whom - Beech (Hawker Beechcraft/Textron) presumably?

You see those three aircraft and makes you think there's a bit of synergy there with say the likes of de Havilland in so much that they produced essentially good looking aircraft, like Beech, in the main. That said, the Starship's appeal very much in the eye of the beholder. The flight-deck though - half a tonne of CRT screens.

Starship marks out of 10 for beauty vs. Piaggio Avanti folks? Personal view:

Starship - 6/10
Avanti - 8/10 ....and for balance

Hondajet - 4/10 ....sorry Honda.
