Background: The S-914 was a proposal for a lightweight and cheap personal jet aircraft for the most ambitious private pilots. The Finch was small and easy to fly but was ultimately rejected by the Bellmore board of directors citing the low demand for such an aircraft. Only one demonstrator example was ever built.
