1972 High Performance Micro Jet | BD5
One of the first jet kit ever produced. The BD5 is an experimental home-built aircraft that was introduced in 1972. The jet can be configured to either have a turbine jet engine or a single piston engine. The BD5 engine featured in the video has a French built 220 lbs of full thrust. It can cruise over 300 mph while burning around 50 gph. If you want one of these, you’d have to buy the kit and build it or find one in the used market. The plane can cost you around $120,000 – $150,000.
