Bede BD-10 Homebuilt Jet

The Bede BD-10 was an exciting venture into the world of homebuilt jets, designed by the innovative Bede Aircraft in the 1990s. This Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) was the only homebuilt, civilian jet available for personal use at the time. Despite its short production run, the BD-10 made a significant impact in the aviation community. It was a high-performance aircraft, capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 0.85 and a ceiling of 30,000 feet. Its sleek design and high-speed capabilities made it a favorite among aviation enthusiasts. However, the BD-10 was not without its challenges, with several crashes leading to its eventual discontinuation. Despite this, the BD-10 remains a notable part of aviation history.
