The Bede BD-5 Micro is a series of small, single-seat homebuilt aircraft created in the late 1960s by US aircraft designer Jim Bede and introduced to the market primarily in kit form by the now-defunct Bede Aircraft Corporation in the early 1970s.

The BD-5 is a high performance single-place, low-wing, pusher-configuration sport plane. Design features include all-metal construction, mechanical retractable landing gear among the industry finest, detachable wings,and wrist action side stick control as in modern day fighter aircraft.

2020年5月20日 · The tiny plane was called the BD-5 Micro. More than 3,000 people—many of them, like me, with imaginations fired but zero experience building airplanes—eventually purchased BD-5 kits. A handful of factory prototype BD-5s made test flights, triggering paroxysms of excitement among us kit-buyers.

原型机翼展只有4.37米（真可谓Micro），装一台40马力的双缸二冲程发动机，尾翼形式为“蝶型”（即“V”型）。 在接下来的改进中发展了多种型号： BD-5B，A的改进型，翼展增加至6.55米，取消了V型尾翼，取而代之的是全动平尾和正常垂尾，后来有改装70马力发动机，翼型改进为NACA641 212/218，载油量增至106升。 BD-5G：B型的升级版，主要改动是翼型变成NASA的GAW-2，结构加强，可用载荷+6/-6，已经达到全特技飞机的标准。 现在在飞的BD中最多的就 …

2008年7月18日 · The BD-5’s most revolutionary components are its pusher propeller and associated drive system. These enable the engine to be mid-mounted for low drag and optimum mass distribution, while the chisel-tailed fuselage gives the sexily curved, multi-laminated wood prop a comparatively smooth airstream.

The BD-5 was designed in 1973, and proved to be an extremely popular aircraft. The BD-5 is small and lightweight, and can be either single seat propeller or jet driven. The jet version is listed in the Guinness book of records as the world’s smallest jet.

2022年6月21日 · This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the Bede BD-5 Micro: a plane famous for its design and abilities but feared for its penchant for sending pilots to an early grave. For about as long as there have been planes there have been entrepreneurs and engineers trying to make aviation more accessible to the masses.
