The Ultra Cruiser uses the same all-aluminium construction as the older Hummel Bird, it is a completely redesigned aircraft. It has been lengthened and lightened for better ground stability and to fit into the U.S. ultralight category, according to Hummel Aviation. Power is supplied by a 1/2 Volkswagen engine.
The Ultra Cruiser uses 6061-T6 aluminium rivet-together construction. Currently the plane is only available as plans-built, but preformed parts should soon be available.
The average builder constructing from plans should be able to complete the project in about 800 hours, using standard metal tools. A construction and flying video is available. It is anticipated the plane will be available ready-to-fly in the near future.
According to Hummel, the Ultra Cruiser can be operated under FAR Part 103 when powered by the 4-stroke 1/2 Volkswagen engine. The plane has a canopy and cabin heat for all-weather flying. The canopy can be quickly removed for summer flying. The wings are detachable for storage.
