Description
Bede Aero SE is a renowned brand specializing in experimental aircraft and kit planes. With a rich history in aviation innovation, Bede Aero offers a range of high-quality products and services for aviation enthusiasts. Their lineup includes the BD-4C, the first true kitplane in the world, designed by Jim Bede.
This versatile aircraft features a high-wing cantilever monoplane design and can be customized with either a tail wheel or tricycle undercarriage. Another popular offering is the BD-5, a small and lightweight aircraft available in both propeller and jet versions. The jet version holds a Guinness World Record for being the world's smallest jet.
Its introduction in the 1970s created a global sensation, with over 800 orders placed before the first prototype even flew. The BD-6, a single-seat aircraft, incorporates the same bolt-together angle method as the BD-4 and features a high wing and all-metal construction. It is powered by a Hirth engine and offers the functionality of the BD-4 in a condensed form.
For those looking for a simpler and more affordable build, Bede Aero offers the BD-17L, a single-seat LSA category aircraft. Designed for novice builders, the BD-17L boasts a user-friendly construction process, fuel efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Experience the thrill of flight with Bede Aero SE's exceptional aircraft and explore their online store for a wide range of aviation accessories and builder assistance services.
