Design work on the B&F Fk12 Comet called the Funk Fk12 Comet though not by its makers, began in 1994, it is a single-engine biplane with single bay wings of equal span, significant stagger and swept at about 14°, seating two in tandem. The wing main spar and leading edge are constructed of carbon fibre. Streamlined I-shaped interplane struts, one on each side, form the bays, each of, braced by a pair of lift and drag wires. A pair of inverted V-cabane struts plus secondary strut support the upper wing centre section, with the lower wing attached to the lower fuselage longerons; the trailing edges of both upper and lower wings carry full-span flaperons, connected by external vertical rods. Since 2009, Comets have had a chord extension of 40 mm and flaperons mounted on external U-shaped hinges to improve roll rate and control.

The wings fold for compact hangarage. Vertical and horizontal tail surfaces are trapezoidal, with a swept fin; the rudder tabbed, moving in a cutout between the elevators. The tailplane, mounted on the upper fuselage longerons, is braced with struts from below, aided by wires both above and below; the Comet has a metal tube fuselage structure, using steel at the aluminium further aft. It is covered with a mixture of glass-fibre laminates. There are two seats in tandem, the forward one under the wings and the rear seat well behind the trailing edge. Both cockpits may be open. Conversion from one configuration to another takes a few minutes The Comet has a conventional undercarriage, with spring cantilever legs mounted on the lower fuselage longerons carrying mainwheels which may be faired. A ballistic parachute is an option; the Comet is powered by one of several Rotax horizontally-opposed four cylinder engines: the 60 kW 912 UL, the 74 kW 912 ULS or the turbocharged, 87 kW 914, all driving two-blade propellers.

A Lycoming AEIO-233 engine is being tested as an optional engine. The Fk12 Comet first flew in production beginning in May. Certification was gained in 1999, it has been marketed in three forms: complete flyaway aircraft and fast-build kit. Kit production was interrupted between 2007 and 2009.
