Flexible Bi{sub 1.81}Pb{sub 0.43}Sr{sub 1.71}Ca{sub 2.14}Cu{sub 3}O{sub {ital x}} superconducting tapes have been fabricated by the powder-in-silver tubing technique followed by appropriate sintering. The sintered tape, {ital J}{sub {ital c}}{gt}10{sup 4} A/cm{sup 2} at 77 K, can be bent into an arc with a 0.9-cm radius of curvature without deteriorating the transport properties at liquid nitrogen temperature. This indicates that the superconducting {ital a}-{ital b} plane of the Bi-based tape has a strain of 0.05%--0.1%.
