A classic FAA certified design updated with the latest technology.
In 1991 the helicopter industry was revolutionized by the introduction of the Hummingbird 260L, the world’s first four-place FAA certified helicopter turned into a kit by Vertical Aviation Technologies based in Florida, USA. By utilizing the design of the FAA certified Sikorsky S-52 helicopter, the safety, reliability, and performance of the Hummingbird 260L all benefit from years of proven flight time. Starting with this solid foundation, several improvements have been incorporated such as a more powerful Lycoming engine and the nosecone and windshields from the Bell Jet Ranger.

Quality Engineering
The Hummingbird is a single engine, three-bladed main rotor type helicopter, with a tail rotor. The fuselage is made of aluminum and composites. The Hummingbird is powered by a FAA approved Lycoming aircraft engine. The transmission system consists of a clutch/freewheel unit between the engine and main gearbox, a main driveshaft extending from the top of the main gearbox to the main rotorhead, and a take-off drive from the main gearbox which drives the tail rotor driveshaft, intermediate gearbox and tail rotor assembly. These parts are manufactured to strict FAA design standards.

Top Quality Features
The Hummingbird is a real pleasure to fly. Because of its inherently long tail, forward flight is very stable but very agile. The flight control system incorporates electric trim with force gradient spring pressure. Stick forces are very light. Another appealing characteristic is the landing gear. It is such a pleasure to be able to taxi a helicopter and not have to hover. This landing gear design is only found in helicopters costing over a million dollars! The three blade rotor system is very smooth and has a medium inertia rotor providing excellent autorotation characteristics. The clutch is automatic for engaging the rotor system and a rotorbrake is included to slow the rotor during shut down.
Consider these quality Hummingbird Helicopter features:
- Comfortable four-place cabin
- 375 mile range
- 950 pound payload
- Fully articulated rotor head
- Flight control trim system
- All aluminum construction with fiberglass nose
- Fully-customizable instrumentation and finishes
- Rotor brake
- Wheels for taxiing with hydraulic brakes and shock absorbing struts
- Main Rotor blades are quickly removable for maintenance, trailer transport or storage.
