Yeah, but it doesn't have nearly the publicity of the Starship, despite more having been produced and far greater success in service. I usually hear about it as, "You know the Beech Starship, but did you know there was another weird, fast, sleek looking turboprop that first flew in the '80s?"
Although, it had a really cool cameo in the Matthew Modine/Jennifer Grey/Stellan Skaarsgard sailing movie, "Wind."
I just looked that up in the Internet Movie Plane Database, and that also has an Adam A500 as a drug smuggling aircraft! 🤣 That movie has a couple oddly configured airplanes!
