About the BD-5D Micro

The Bede Aircraft BD-5D Micro is a single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft built to accommodate a single pilot. Featuring a streamlined fuselage with a semi-reclined pilot seating position beneath a large canopy and a mid-fuselage engine compartment, it is well-suited for aviation enthusiasts seeking a compact, fighter-like aircraft.

Created by American designer Jim Bede, the aircraft series was introduced in kit form by the Bede Aircraft Corporation. It generated significant interest with thousands of orders for a proposed factory-built version, though few kit versions were completed due to the company filing for bankruptcy. A jet-powered variant within the series holds the distinction of being the world's smallest jet aircraft.
