The aircraft was intended to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction, but only one was ever built.

[1][2] Designed as a four-seat development of the Bede BD-12, which was, in turn, a two-seat version of the single-seat Bede BD-5, the BD-14 was to feature a cantilever low-wing, a four-seat enclosed cockpit under a gull-wing canopy, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft was built from fibre-reinforced plastic composite materials.

[1] The company that currently owns the rights to the design, BedeCorp, indicates that production was not started due to the cost of tooling and the lack of funds.
