Beechcraft 18

The basic Beechcraft model 18 has two radial engines mounted in the wings, a tail wheel undercarriage and an H-tail. This makes it similar to the Lockheed 10, Lockheed 12 and Barkley-Grow T8P-1. The cockpit windows are the best way to keep them apart. The Beechcraft Model 18 comes however in many different versions, of which some even with a single vertical stabiliser and/or nose wheel. These are described separately.

Beechcraft 19/23/24

These Beechcraft single piston engine aircraft are similar in appearance as the Piper PA-28. Its main distinctive features are a high front cockpit window and a trailing link main and nose landing gear. The gear can be fixed or retractable.

The Beech 1900 commuter aircraft shares many components with the Super King Air series. Essentially it is a stretched Beech 200 with a higher cabin and further spaced, oval cabin windows.

The Starship is a twin turboprop aircraft with pusher props and a canard configuration. It has no single vertical stabiliser, but two vertical surfaces at the wingtips acting as vertical stabilisers. This distinguishes the aircraft the most from the Piaggio Avanti.

The Beechjet, and the MU-300 from which it was developed, is a small business jet that can particularly recognised by its typical cockpit window configuration: the frame is diagonal but titled ninety degrees compared to "standard". The cabin windows are oval.

Although bearing the name Bonanza the Beech 50 is bigger than the true twin Bonanzas, the Travel Air and Baron. The Twin Bonanza is similar to the smaller siblings, with as main recognition point the main gear that retracts forward in the nacelles. The vertical stabiliser is always non-swept.

The Beech 99 commuter aircraft is clearly a descendant of the Beech 65 Queen Air. It is basically a stretched version with the turboprop engines of the King Air and a much longer nose. The Beech 99 retains the square cabin windows of the Queen Air.

Based on the King Air 90 and King Air 100 Beechcraft developed T-tailed versions. Apart from having a T-atail these have the same characteristics as the low tail King Airs, such as cockpit windows, round cabin windows, engine nacelles and landing gear. 

The Beechcraft Queen Air and King Air have low wings and low horizontal stabilisers, with two piston or turboprop engines and a main gear retracting forward into the nacelles. The Queen Air has square cabin windows, while the King Airs have round ones. 

Beechcraft made a primary training aircraft based on the Bonanza private aircraft. Especially landing gear with triangular main landing gear doors is a key feature copied from the Bonanza, as is the nose of the piston powered version. The fuselage has a tandem canopy, with the student and instructor pilot sitting at the same level. The turboprop version is shown here.
