my business partner went to oshkosh one year to buy a twin with 6 seats . we saw the adam’s aircraft at oshkosh and while we were being shown through the aircraft , adam’s came into the aircraft and said ‘get rid of these 2 we have a lunch to go to”. We ended up at Beechcraft and purchased 2 king airs at the show and 6 months later purchased another 4 king airs . So adam’s you missed out. I was initially impressed with the adam’s aircraft due to the cheaper running costs compared to the king airs. .

Being an infamous Burt Rutan design, I was curious about the unusually long ground roll to V2 while carrying only 3 adults, and why only a few examples were created. She's a rotund lead sled for sure! From wikipedia: "In evaluation flights conducted in 2007 the A500 was noted as being over the projected empty weight by 1,260 lb (570 kg) or 30%. The initial design empty weight publicized in 2003 was 4,200 lb (1,910 kg), while the actual empty weight of the serial number 7 A500 was 5,460 lb (2,480 kg). Initial gross weight was to be 6,300 lb (2,860 kg), which was increased to 7,000 lb (3,180 kg). This resulted in a change of useful load from a forecast 2,100 to 1,540 lb (950 to 700 kg). With the 230 US gal (870 L) fuel tanks full, the available payload for crew, passengers and baggage is 160 lb (73 kg), down from a projected 720 lb (327 kg). *This means that the A500 cannot carry full fuel and one standard weight adult male or female pilot!* I assume the owner either found a great deal on this example or someone owed him some money. Either way, she's a very rare unique bird with tremendous ramp appeal. Thank you for sharing your experiences and Im glad you were offered the generous opportunity to drive. Back in the day, I was fortunate to pilot a Beechcraft Starship from the right seat over a 3.5 hour flight, which reminds me strongly of the A500. Love your channel!

​@9HighFlyer9 Regardless of the economy, it was destined to failure when the enormous weight penalty was discovered early in the prototype (and likely prior to initial construction). The sagging economy meant they were desperate to raise capitol and forged ahead, with hopes customers would ignore its atrocious useful load capability and cough up the money. The real tragedy remains in all the incredible Rutan concepts that never came to fruition.

It was inspired by the skymasters but planned to be a lighter simpler more efficient update on the concept. Sort of thought that it was planned as a gas turbine powered. It was somewhat underpowered for it's wt at the end of the development process. Which may be why it's a bit slow off the deck. Still an attractive aircraft ..

A guy at my airport bought and Adam 500 and put a large deposit on an AdamJet. He couldn't keep the 500 flying because the plane couldn't get certified parts. He had to donate it to a museum to get rid of it. He then lost all of his deposit on the jet. Never try to buy a new design. I flew the owner to KAPA for him to visit the factory while he waited for his planes. I kept my mouth shut although I knew it would turn out badly. I told his pilot to just buy a Citation Jet. After the Adam thing blew up, that's what he finally did.

It's a way to have a twin and avoid the critical engine weakness of twins but the noise and the tail limitations, it all just boils down to the same conclusion, we need jets. They are just better. They can be cheaper than piston engines, they are simpler, it's just convention and greed that they are not. An Eclipse twin jet has the same fuel economy as a Baron 58 piston twin despite bigger cabin and double the speed.

Power loading is what matters, and this is a heavy airplane. Gross weight 7,000 lb/350 hp = 20 lb/hp, which is similar to a Piper Aztec. It has the centerline thrust safety advantage but the engine out performance is nothing impressive.
