The Hummel Bird is an Experimental/Amateur Built aircraft designed by Morry Hummel. It is a single seat, single engine, all metal airplane typically powered by a 1/2 VW engine in the 32 hp-45 hp range although other engines have been used successfully. It is built from plans, but many of the components are available pre-made from Hummel Aviation. Examples have been built for less than $4,000 with extensive "scrounging" but with all new material and a pre-built engine, a more likely figure would hover near $8,000-$10,000.

Famous quotes containing the word bird:
“The bird would cease and be as other birds
But that he knows in singing not to sing.
The question that he frames in all but words
Is what to make of a diminished thing.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
