The diamond-shaped Dyke JD-2 Delta tiny plane is a 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. Still, its owners/builders feverishly defend the type’s reputation as one of the best aircraft they’ve ever flown.

The Delta also lays fame 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 it.
