Bede BD-5
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bede BD-5 M icr o 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 has a small, streamlined fuselage holding its semi-reclined pilot under a large canopy, with the
engine installed in a compartment in the middle of the fuselage, and a propeller-driving engine - or jet engine
in the BD-5J variant - mounted immediately to the rear of the cockpit. The combination of fighter-like looks
and relatively low cost led to the BD-5 selling over 5,000 kits or plans, with approximately 12,000 orders
being taken for a proposed factory-built, FAA-certified version.[1] However, few of the kit versions were
actually completed due to the company's bankruptcy in the mid-1970s, and none of the factory built "D"
models were produced, as a result of the failure to find a reliable engine for the design.
In total, only a few hundred BD-5 kits were completed, although many of these are still being flown today.
The BD-5J version holds the record for the world's lightest single-engine jet aircraft, weighing only 358.8 lb
(162.7 kg).

Bede published an information booklet about the BD-5 in November 1970. Several very positive magazine articles appeared at this point. The October 1971
issue of Science & Mechanics had the BD-5 on the cover, listing the price as $1,950. The associated article showed the construction of the original prototype,
with numerous claims about how easy it was to construct. The August 1973 issue of Popular Science also covered the aircraft, although it listed the price at
$2,965 with the 40 hp engine.[8] The "miniature fighter" generated intense demand. As one author put it, "Even before the plane first left the ground, thoughts of
flying the sleek, bullet-shaped aircraft with its pusher prop stimulated the imagination of nearly everyone who had heard of the program."[2]
On February 24, 1971, the first $200 deposit to reserve a "place in line" to receive a kit was accepted,[2] with the target shipping date being May 24, 1972.[9] By
August 1971, 800 deposits had been taken, even though the first BD-5 prototype had yet to complete high-speed taxi tests. By the end of the year, the company
had taken over 4,300 orders, making it one of the most popular general aircraft projects in modern history.[2]
Flight testing
N500BD
The prototype, N500BD, flew briefly on September 12, 1971, powered by a 36 hp (27 kW; 36 PS) Polaris Industries snowmobile engine. This was sixteen
months after deposits had been taken, which led to some griping in the press.[2]
The stability of the aircraft with the original V-tail was marginal at best, and clearly needed a redesign. With the original fiberglass fuselage, this was a time
consuming process, so the decision was made to switch to an all-metal fuselage with the components incorporating compound curves produced using
hydroformed aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. These could be modified with relative ease during the testing cycle. It also made economic sense as the orders rolled
in, as assembly line production of stamped metal parts is expensive to set up but less expensive in the long run.[2]
By December 1971, the tooling for the new fuselage was in development. The aircraft now featured a longer, more pointed nose, whereas the N500BD had been
patterned on the ASW 15 and had a more rounded, egg-like shaping at the front. While this work was in progress, Bede continued to experiment with
modifications to the empennage, eventually abandoning the V-tail for a more conventional rudder and horizontal stabilizer layout with highly swept surfaces.
Further testing on N500BD showed flow interference between the horizontal surfaces and the propeller, and the stabilizer was raised six inches to correct it,
placing it about midway up the rear fuselage.[2]
N501BD
The first example of the new fuselage arrived in March 1972, and was fitted with a new Kiekhaefer Aeromarine engine Bede had seen at the Oshkosh Airshow
in 1971. Finished as N501BD, numerous small delays prevented it from flying until July 11, 1972. These flights demonstrated continued problems with the pitch
stability; after briefly considering an all-flying stabilator, it was again redesigned with more area and less sweep, becoming much more conventional in layout.[10]
The program was now far too large for Bede to handle alone. In March 1972, he hired Burt Rutan to head the flight test department, who was soon joined by Les

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede_BD-5
Berven as chief test pilot.[2] They took over development, giving Bede more time to work on business issues. This was proving difficult enough, as Kiekhaefer
and Bede could not reach an agreement about deliveries, forcing him to change to a similar 40 hp 440 cc (27 cu in) Hirth Motoren design, then selecting a larger
55 hp 650 cc (40 cu in) Hirth, instead.[2]
Several additional problems turned up during testing. stick forces were very low, but this was easily addressed by making the servo tabs 50% larger. A more
worrying development was that the engines all had problems with mixture due to changes in engine speed or load, which led to rough engine operation. In
August, while Bede was demonstrating the BD-5 (N501BD) to the FAA in order to receive permission to fly at Oshkosh, the engine seized. On its deadstick
landing, the aircraft overran the runway, buckling the nose gear. Incorrect mixture was identified as the cause of a second wreck of N501BD, in September 1972,
when the mixture control broke and Berven had to execute another forced landing.[2] This landing resulted in damage to all the gear and the fuselage as well.
Since N502BD would be ready in two months, they decided not to repairN501BD, and it ended testing after about 30 hours of flight time.[2]
N502BD
N502BD ran into problems of its own. Early models used a variable speed belt drive system to transfer power from the engine to the propeller shaft. This was
removed from N502BD and it suddenly began exhibiting a serious vibration problem during taxi tests.[2] Experts were called in,[11] and a freewheel clutch and
additional bearings added to correct the problem,[11] but it was not until March 26, 1973 that N502BD flew.[2] From then on the test program seemed to go more
smoothly,[12] although this aircraft also suffered two dead stick landings, one from a pinched fuel line occurred while the plane was being observed by the
Popular Science author,[3] and another due to metal in a new engine's cylinder.[2]
By the time the test program neared its conclusion, the aircraft had undergone major changes. One victim of the program was the shorter "A" wing, which
calculations showed would only improve performance at speeds very close to Vmax (the highest available speed). Flight testing also showed the stall speed with
the smaller wing was decidedly high. Split flaps and spoilers had also disappeared. The canopy and cockpit dimensions had changed, the aircraft had new landing
gear systems, and the tail was completely new. Estimated top speed was also reduced 10%.[2]
The biggest change, however, was the engine. The original plans to use a 40 hp model proved to be decidedly underpowered, although they were still offered for
a time. It was the need for more power that would fit into the very small engine bay that demanded the use of a high-revving two-stroke engine, and few
examples of such a design in the desired power class were available. Additionally, two-stroke engines are very smooth running at high RPM, but have real
problems running smoothly at low RPM. Even after months of effort, the Hirth designs showed rough running and high minimum power outputs when idled.
They also have high fuel consumption, and it was expected that the larger engines would burn between 4.5 and 5.5 gallons per hour.[13]
By this point, it seemed the basic design was complete, and Bede turned his attention to other projects. One was the jet-powered BD-5J, which boosted
performance to 305 knots (565 km/h; 351 mph).[1] There was an attempt to sidestep the engine problem with the BD-5S glider (S for Sailplane), with lengthened
wings and no engine, which prompted Air Progress magazine to sarcastically note, "At last, a BD-5 with no engine problems." This glider version did not fly well
and the project was scrapped. Some work on a BD-6 was also carried out, essentially a shrunk BD-4 single-seater. There was some criticism that Bede should

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede_BD-5
have attended to the basic BD-5 rather than move on to these other projects.[2] Bede also decided to seek FAA certification of the BD-5D as a production
aircraft and sell it complete, and began taking $600 deposits for this model.
Deliveries begin
By the middle of 1973 the basic design was complete and the tooling set up for production. Now over two and a half years after the deposits started being taken,
the engines were the only part holding up deliveries, so Bede offered to ship the kit with the engine to follow. This was a fairly attractive option; it meant the
builder could get to work and hopefully complete the airframe by the time the engine arrived, at that point expected in September 1973.[5] Many builders took
the company up on the offer, only to receive incomplete kits and plans.[14]
Initially, all three Hirth engines were offered; builders could keep the 40 hp engine, or "trade up" to 55 hp or 70 hp (52 kW; 71 PS). The latter, which Bede had
developed with Hirth, was now considered the baseline engine for the aircraft; when equipped with the original 40 hp the aircraft proved to be underpowered. In
a late 1973 newsletter to prospective owners, Bede suggested the 70 hp model and discouraged use of the smaller engines.[15] Prices had risen throughout the 30
months since deposits were first taken. Originally priced at $1,799, the base price was raised to $2,599 with the 55 hp Hirth, and owners were offered a "trade
up" for the difference in price if they had ordered the aircraft with the original 40 hp engine.
When 1974 came, engines were still not being delivered in sufficient numbers, although some started to arrive early that year. At that point, unexpectedly, Hirth
went bankrupt after about 500 engines had shipped. Once again, the BD-5 lacked a suitable engine, but this time the search for a replacement ended with a
Zenoah design from Japan. Development of this engine was lengthy, and in the end it would not be certified for export until 1978, although this was not
anticipated at the time.[16]
In the meantime, Bede came up with another novel solution to the problems of converting pilots to the new aircraft. They took an engine-less example and
bolted it to the front of a pickup truck on a trapeze, attaching the pilot's throttle control to the truck's. Pilots could test fly the aircraft without danger - if a
problem developed the driver of the truck simply hit the brakes.[17]

dimpling, drilling again and deburring again for each rivet. With the original mixed-construction design this would not
have been as much of a task, but with the all-metal version this was extremely time consuming.[19] While Bede claimed
the aircraft could be put together by anyone in a garage, builders generally agree that doing so without proper
construction techniques could result in a potentially dangerous aircraft. One way to overcome that issue is to use a set of
properly laid-out jigs to align and drill the pilot holes for the airframe, wings and other components.[20] For all of these
reasons, it was some time before completed BD-5s started to appear.[21]
Additionally, some of the kits were shipped with missing parts, adding to the confusion.[20] All of this led to a rash of kits
being sold for fire sale prices, although this did allow the builders to complete kits at bargain prices.[9]
Flying starts
Although Bede had suggested using the B wings,[15] the earliest kits shipped only with the short "A" wings. All four
examples completed with these wings crashed on their first flight, three on takeoff, one on landing. In three of the four
crashes, the pilots were killed. Of the first 25 aircraft completed, with both the "A" and "B" wings, 14 crashed with 9 fatalities.[22]
Even when examples with the "B" wings were completed, the safety record did not improve greatly. Several crashes in the BD-5B were found to have taken
place due to engine failure on takeoff, both due to the mix of "oddball" engines as well as endemic cooling problems.[23] The reason this is such an issue with the
BD-5 is twofold the high line of thrust means an engine failure immediately results in an unexpected (for most pilots) nose-up attitude change. Pilots who fail
to fly the aircraft first and then attempt to restart the engine inevitably stall, with the associated consequences. This was aggravated by the fact the original wing
had a very sharp stall with little warning and a nasty tendency to snap roll.[19] To make matters worse, a documented manufacturing error in some wing skins
delivered to kit builders exacerbated the problem. A rather small center of gravity range added to the problems of properly trimming the aircraft.
Further developments
With the demise of the Bede Aircraft Company, the BD-5 entered a sort of limbo while builders completed their kits. The early safety problems and the
challenge of adapting a suitable engine exacerbated delays. Over the next few years, however, solutions to most of these problems arrived in one form or
another. Many other changes have also been incorporated to improve the original design.
The problem of finding a suitable engine with 6070 hp (4552 kW; 6171 PS) yet weighing under 100 lb (45 kg) was a serious problem in the 1970s, but today
there are a number of off-the-shelf designs in this class. The widely available Rotax 582 is a 65 hp (48 kW; 66 PS) engine weighing 80 lb (36 kg) in standard
configuration, almost tailor-made for the BD-5.
Other engines successfully used in BD-5s include the Subaru EA-81, Honda EB1 & EB2 (with and without turbocharging), Hirth 2706, AMW 225-3 and 2SI
808. A BD-5A fitted with a Rotax 618UL 74 hp (55 kW; 75 PS) two-stroke two-cylinder,[24] water-cooled engine[25] holds the current FAI C-1a/0 class speed
record (aircraft weighing under 660 lb (300 kg)) at 351 km/h (190 kn; 218 mph) . Problems with the abrupt stall were mostly addressed by Harry Riblett, an
6 / 13

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede_BD-5
airfoil designer who documented a procedure to apply a slight reprofile of the wing root airfoil, which softened the stall response of the aircraft without any
significant performance degradation.[26] The reprofile presents other unique problems, associated with the way it is applied to the wing upper surface, essentially
gluing foam to the aluminum skin and covering with fiberglass. Similarly, the small center-of-gravity range has since been addressed with 5.513 in (1433 cm)
stretch kits for the fuselage.
Several companies were formed to help builders complete their kits, and many of the aftermarket modifications were worked into these services. As of 2015,
BD-Micro Technologies of Siletz, Oregon continues to offer kit building support, including new-build kits featuring (optionally) all of these modifications and
powered by a 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 or 65 hp (48 kW) Hirth 2706 two-stroke engine, and even the BD-5T, a turboprop version using a TRS-18 turbine
powering a mechanically-controlled variable-pitch propeller.[27] Alturair, Inc. of San Diego, California also offers extensive parts and construction assistance
services, as well as kits for the BD-5B and BD-5G models.[28]
Bede Aircraft Company has since re-formed and has been working on several new designs. Bede has hinted at a two-seat tandem version of the aircraft, called
the "Super BD-5", using a certified aircraft engine and a number of modifications and improvements, but to date nothing other than a preliminary design drawing
has been made available.[29]
BD-5J
While the new Hirth engine was being tested, Bede decided to create a variant of the BD-5 with a small jet engine. The
result was the sleek BD-5J (also known as the "Acrostar Jet "[30]), a 300 mph (260 kn; 480 km/h) aircraft. The design
used the Sermel TRS-18-046 turbojet which produced 225 lbf (1.00 kN) thrust and was used on a Caproni certified
motorglider design. The original engines were produced under license by Ames Industrial in the USA. The wing was
modified to an "intermediate" size between the original A and B wings, with a 17 ft (5.2 m) span.
Bob Bishop purchased 20 BD-5J kits as soon as they had appeared, and many of the flying examples started life in this
batch of 20. Versions from the original batch became a popular airshow fixture. Throughout the 1980s and until 1991,
Coors flew two of them as the "Silver Bullets". Budweiser also had a BD-5J called the Bud Light Jet, but that contract
has long expired and the aircraft was lost as a result of an engine compartment fire from which Bishop successfully bailed
out. The aircraft also appeared in the opening sequence of the James Bond film Octopussy.[1]
Many of these aircraft have since been involved in crashes. The loss of the Bud Light Jet was caused by an incorrectly specified fuel flow sending unit which
burst in mid-flight and caused fuel to be sprayed directly into the engine compartment. The fuel ignited when it came in contact with the hot components of the
engine, forcing the pilot to trade speed for altitude, climb, and bail out. The aircraft then went into a flat spin and pancaked into the ground, but was sufficiently
intact to allow the cause of the fire to be determined relatively quickly.
On June 16, 2006, while practicing for an air show at Carp Airport in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Scott Manning fatally crashed in his "Stinger Jet," the last BD-5J
to remain on the airshow circuit. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada report assigned probable cause of the wreck to the incorrect installation of the right

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede_BD-5
wing, which caused the flap on that wing to suddenly retract in flight and create a "split flap" condition. The aircraft
rolled to the right and Manning was unable to recover in time.[31][32][33]
Recently, the BD-5J has operated in the national security arena. The aircraft is certified by the United States Department
of Defense as a cruise missile surrogate, with Bishop's Aerial Productions offering a version known as the Smart-1 (Small
Manned Aerial Radar Target, Model 1).[34] The radar return and general performance characteristics make it a useful aid
in training. On June 27, 2006, while flying one of these aircraft, pilot Chuck Lischer, a highly experienced professional
BD-5J from "Octopussy"
air show pilot, was killed when he crashed into trees on final approach to the Ocean City Municipal Airport in Ocean
City, Maryland.[35] The National Transportation Safety Board investigation determined the aircraft returned to land with
more fuel than recommended for normal operations and the pilot failed to maintain speed, resulting in a stall and subsequent impact short of the runway.[36]
The BD-5J has also held the Guinness record for the World's Smallest Jet for more than 25 years. Bishop originally garnered the record with one of his jets, and
in November 2004, the record changed hands to Juan Jimnez, whose BD-5J weighed in at 358.8 lb (162.7 kg) empty, 80 lb (36 kg) lighter than Bishop's and the
lightest documented weight for a BD-5.[37]
On May 1, 2013, Guido Gehrmann was killed while attempting an emergency landing in his BD-5J which he flew as part of Red Bull's Flying Bulls team.[38]

An unusual adaptation of the BD-5, the Acapella 100 appeared in the early 1980s. Designer Carl D. Barlow of Option Air Reno mated a BD-5 fuselage
with a distinctive twin-boom empennage and fitted it with a 100 hp (75 kW; 100 PS) Continental O-200 engine. Later, a 200 hp (150 kW;
200 PS)Lycoming IO-360 was fitted, and the span reduced from 26 ft 6 in (8.08 m) 19 ft 6 in (5.94 m), becoming the Acapella 200-S. The prototype of
this aircraft was first flown on June 6, 1980, with pilot Bill Skiliar at the controls. Nonetheless, it flew poorly and was difficult to control. Only one
prototype was built and it was donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association's Airventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA, where it is
occasionally placed on display.
