New Aux Tank Offered For Hummingbird Helo

Range Increased To 500 Miles

Vertical Aviation Technologies just recently completed the design of a 22 gallon auxiliary fuel system for the Hummingbird helicopter.  With this aux fuel system, range is increased to 500 miles.  The system is easily installed and was designed for use with the Hummingbird Heli-Camper to extend range to that mountain lake camping hideaway.  "Everyone was asking to carry four people and increase range", "says Brad Clark, President of Vertical Aviation Technologies.  We've been able to open a market niche with range no other small helicopter comes near."

The Hummingbird was introduced in 1991 and is the only four passenger kit helicopter that was previously FAA Certified. Used primarily for private use, it has been increasingly used around the world for commercial and business use.
