The Hiller Aviation Museum presents the unique BD-5 aircraft, a small, single-seat homebuilt kit aircraft created by US aircraft designer Jim Bede. The BD-5 has a small fuselage holding its semi-reclined pilot under a large canopy, with the engine installed in a compartment in the middle of the fuselage, and a propeller in the rear.
