It was a low-wing, single-seat monoplane of conventional configuration, albeit very short-coupled. The single prototype was under construction by Jim Bede when his company, Bede Aircraft, faced bankruptcy in 1977. The incomplete BD-8 was purchased by Mike Huffman, who completed its construction in 1980.
