This Day in Aviation History
July 8th, 1992
First flight of the Bede BD-10.
 
The Bede BD-10 was Jim Bede’s attempt to introduce the world’s first kit-built jet-powered general aviation supersonic aircraft. After several years of testing and modifications, the project was taken over by investors in order to produce fully completed civilian and military training aircraft, but these projects were never realized. Five examples were built in total and three of these crashed. Only two examples remain, both unflyable….
