Totally fascinating, all good stuff, thank you

I glad to see this info still around. Mary Ellen Bede was my dad's sister. Seeing one of these usually the Bede J5 at an airshow reconnects me with it.

How to spot a fantasist

Thanks, very good video!

1:10 So clear how the resonance of the exhaust is important to the power of the engine, and how finely tuned the engine is to a narrow RPM band.

Tesla himself said that he would create a car that would also fly as a plane and maneuver like a helicopter. One of his many patents... Amazing . All modern tech is his. Thank You Nichola T.

You got to be cray cray to fly one of those!

GREAT VIDEO

This is awasome the second one

IIRC, the BD-5 was sold with two potential sets of wings, long (18'?) and short (12'?). All the early models were sent with long wings, and short wings were never delivered. Even the long wings had very narrow CG limits (something like 1/2", IIRC). Of the several first homebuilt flights, most terminated with accidents, with most of those fatal. The short wings would have made the CG limits even narrower. The original engine, again IIRC, was a snowmobile engine, but most builders substituted something else due to difficulty in getting an engine, adding to the CG problems.

What a nice post, my friend. Absolutely comprehensive and without dull blah bla blahs. Every aircraft with its own magic touch, taking our flying dreams off, each one of them. Thank you for the funny and enlighting post. Off we go!

Small aircraft are not a problem if there is a sufficiently powerful engine that mediates higher flight speeds. Just something for something. Every little boy's big dream is a small passenger plane. That's why we like small planes, because they evoke childhood in us. :)

Some unnamed drone even bigger than this

Jim Bede developed a number of successful aircraft. His most popular kit was the Bede 4. His Bede 5J jet was used in the Bond film 'Octopussy' and flown through an aircraft hangar by Corkey Fornof. A close friend of mine's wife was a secretary for Jim before he went out of business. With Corkey's set up the jet could reach speeds of up to 300 mph (appx 260 kts).

Mr. Bede was my best friends next door neighbor for years. For the movie there were two BD-5J's, a beautifully painted one and a white one with stripes (as seen in the movie). On location the one that was to be flown was damaged so the white one was used. For years I had part of the nose section of the damaged painted plane in my garage, Jim gave it to my friend who gave it to me when he moved. Fun memories.

Citation mustang, awesome jet.

Looks it would be easy to attach parachute to tail of such a small plane. Think it would work good.

My next Christmesspresent at home to me ...

I saw what was advertised as the smallest jet at an air show in PA. It was yellow and called the bumble bee. It was tiny!

Are these regulated like any other general aviation aircraft? Do you need a pilot's license and certain number of hours flying to be able to fly one of these?

I started to build the recip version of this when they (the kit) first came out but it didn't take me long to give up.

That cri cri is basically a manned RC aircraft

He looks like Super Dave Osborne in a mock jet plane.

That Cessna Mustard is funny. A mustard is a certain kind of bull, is it?

Citation mustang is defiantly not the smallest commercially produced jet even, let alone experimental. Cirrus Vision Jet and Eclipse are smaller.

See the '80s Hatfield "Little Bird". Follow on to the '30s Arup planes.

The general aviation is most affected by money. There’s no big issue with technology. It is very hard to make it affordable even for an above average family. Another interesting fact is that a 1960s car may look old, but a 1960s plane has no major difference with a new plane today except for avionics.

How many KZread Channels does this guy have??

Tiny Tom Cruise has one.

I have seen a Cri-Cri that runs two jetcat rc plane turbine engines. making it the smallest jet.

I looked out my window and saw a guy pedaling a plane through the sky just above my neighbor's house.

Say is this plane still available for purchase. I use to have the little merlin back in the day than they took them off the shelves... nice little plane

Hello james, so "redwheel" does it again!

Que cosa tan pequeña, me daría vértigo subirme a ese "avioncito", aunque en algunas imágenes luce estable. Puede ser una apreciación incorrecta, pero me resistiría menos a subir a uno de los de "ala alta" 11'40, supongo que son más estables

I like kit RC planes as much as the next guy..........but I wouldn't get in one,

Like the fact that both miles & kilometers measurements are stated.

Nice vid except it is very annoying when you keep referring to the metric equivalents.

The smallest jet "airplane" is the jet suit. It's simply a pilot strapped to a wing with four small jet engines attached. The pilot IS the fuselage. His feet is the landing gear.
