Very interesting. But is it really shorter than the little jet Roger Moore flies in Octopussy?

Ah yes, here we are. It says the "smallest" but probably not the shortest.

McDonnell XF-85 Goblin
Length: 14' 10" (4.5 m)
Wingspan: 21' 1" (6.4 m)

Bede BD-5
Length: 12' (3.88 m)
Wingspan: 14' (4.26 m)

Alright, good research kids!

Title and tags adjusted accordingly

You could just say "the world's smallest aircraft with folding wings & no landing gear".
