The Bede BD-7 was a light aircraft constructed in the
United States in 1976. It shared the
Bede BD-5's
pusher propeller configuration but was considerably larger. The
fuselage was
all-metal, and the wings used the unique "panel-rib" wing construction pioneered on the
Bede BD-4. Some sources state that the prototype (registration N7BD) flew in December 1976, but most suggest that it was never actually completed, much less flown.
