Originally designed in 1962 by Jim Bede as the
BD-1
and intended to be sold as a kit-built aircraft. Bede decided to certify the design and offer it as a completed aircraft. No BD-1 kits were ever sold. The prototype first flew on July 11, 1963 and featured folding wings for trailering and ease of storage. Bede formed a company, Bede Aviation Corporation, based in
Cleveland
,
Ohio
, to produce the aircraft, but the BD-1 never entered production as a certified aircraft. At that time the FAA was hesitant to certify a light aircraft with folding wings. The certification process was complex and expensive and disagreements arose between Bede and the other shareholders. As a result Bede was ousted by his business partners and the company renamed American Aviation.
Grumman bought American in 1971 and sold the design as the
Grumman American AA-1B
Trainer for school use starting in 1973. The variant designed for the personal-use market was called the
Lynx
and it featured a standard radio and trim package.
