I remember plans in the 70's for a jet version of the BD-5 (a one-seater IIRC). Never happened, but now we keep seeing plans for personal jets. And, what about the smaller Lears?
No answers, just things to think about.

I was 13 when Jim Bede was developing and promoting the BD-5. I wanted one! I believe there are still some flying. We had one at an airshow here about 15 years ago. Unfortunatele, there was a flameout on takeoff, and the pilot died in the wreck.
