The Hummel Ultracruiser (also variously called the Ultra Cruiser and UltraCruiser) is an American amateur-built aircraft, designed by Morry Hummel and produced by Hummel Aviation. The aircraft is supplied as a kit or plans for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft.
The H5 is a development of the Hummel Ultracruiser Plus and has a gross weight that is heavier than the original Hummel Bird. [1] [2]The H5 features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear, or optionally tricycle landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration.
Hummel was seriously injured and designed the Hummel UltraCruiser shortly thereafter as a consequence of a religious revelation he had during his recovery. The UltraCruiser prototype was started in 1999 and was completed in June 2000. In April 2002 a new version of the UltraCruiser was designed for larger pilots, the Hummel UltraCruiser Plus. [3]

Other engines used include the 40 hp (30 kW) Rotax 447, 35 hp (26 kW) Rotax 377, 30 hp (22 kW) 1/2 VW and the 22 hp (16 kW) Hirth F-33. [1] [2] [3] [4]
