The Bede BD-12 was an American homebuilt aircraft designed by Jim Bede and produced by Bede Aircraft of Medina, Ohio, introduced in the 1990s. The aircraft was intended to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction, but only one was ever built.[1][2] It first flew in 1995.[3]

Design and development

Designed as a scaled-up Bede BD-5, the BD-12 featured a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a gull-wing canopy, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.[1]

The aircraft was made from fibre-reinforced plastic composite materials. Its Шаблон:Convert span wing, mounted flaps and had a wing area of Шаблон:Convert. The standard engines used were the Шаблон:Convert Continental O-200A or the Шаблон:Convert Lycoming O-320 powerplant.[1]

The aircraft had a typical empty weight of Шаблон:Convert and a gross weight of Шаблон:Convert, giving a useful load of Шаблон:Convert. With full fuel of Шаблон:Convert the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage was Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The standard day, sea level, no wind, takeoff with a Шаблон:Convert engine was Шаблон:Convert and the landing roll was Шаблон:Convert.[1]

The company that currently owns the rights to the design, BedeCorp, indicates that production was not started due to the cost of tooling and the lack of funds.[2]

The design was further developed into the Bede BD-14, a four-seat version.[1][2]

Operational history

In April 2015 no examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration, although one had been registered to the designer at one time.[4]
