You'll fall in love with the Dyke Delta

Buckle up and learn about the diamond-shaped Dyke JD-2 Delta, an audacious homebuilt born in a visionary’s basement in Ohio. Designed in the 1960s, the Delta was never mass-produced and presently few remain in airworthy condition, but its owners / builders feverishly defend the type’s reputation as one of the best aircraft they’ve ever flown. The Delta also lays fame to claim as one of the first aircraft ever to include a feature built into its design that could have revolutionized airplane ownership as we know. Enjoy the video! HUGE thanks to the tribe of Delta owners who contributed to this video, especially Linda and John Dyke. Full construction plans and 3-view drawings for the Dyke Delta are available for purchase!
