Ah, yes.... the Starship.... One of the coolest looking planes, IMHO.
One of them was a chase plane for Spaceship One. See the link below.
Burt Rutan had a hand in designing both of them!
Bob Scherer is a real fan of the Starship. So much so, he has his own and
he bought all the spare parts he could lay his hands on and intends to keep
the plane flying as long as possible. But lots of them have been destroyed.
One flies over my house on the weekends and it is obvious when it is coming.
The noise of the exhaust through the pusher props is very distinctive.
I think it's the one based in Oklahoma City...

Bill Lear created the "Lear Fan" with much being composite. It was

All of this laid the path for commercial aircraft to certify

Raytheon developed the Premier with a composite fuselage. They
dropped a
couple stories off a building in test and it bounced. The strength
of this
had a lot to do with how Jack Roush and his wife walked away after
he

The premier had high hopes and they did sell a lot more then the
Starship
but due to changes after development and certification the
additional
weight compromised fuel and range and has not been that great of a
jet.
But this was all the launching pad for much composite development in
the
civilian market.
Ironically one of the problem with composites is repair. When you
run
something like carbon fiber in a solid line from wing tip to wing
tip, if
you punch it with an ice pick you have compromised the strength of
the
entire string.
