Our horizontal ribs are now being made out of half inch honeycomb sandwich material, as opposed to the older stamped ribs. The new ribs will be bonded to the skin like the wing.
BedeCorp LLC has entered into a licensed agreement with Exosphere Aircraft Company Inc. out of Seattle, Washington. They plan to manufacture and market a Light Sports Aircraft designated the BD-22. The BD-22 is derived from the two place BD-18 with a larger wing. The wing is essentially the all-metal BD-4 wing. This permits the BD-22 to meet the stall requirements of the LSA. Exosphere is developing their own website for this aircraft that should be available soon.
The current mailing address is as follows:
2201 6th Avenue, Ste 1222
Seattle, WA 98121
The BD-22 has a very solid durable and maintenance free bonded structure. It also offers an exceptionally large cabin with baggage space for two sets of golf clubs.

We are sorry to say, our agreement with Exosphere Aircraft has never been completed. We were in complete agreement on a written document, which required an initial payment, followed by further payments at certain milestones, with a minimum annual royalty. Exosphere did make a partial payment for the initial amount, but has not made any further installments towards the agreement. Unfortunately we have not been able to contact anyone within the organization to learn of their further intent or involvement with this project. After six months of no contact we have to assume that they are unable to go any further. We are still very proud of the BD-22 design and feel that it would make an excellent light sport aircraft.
