PADC Hummingbird

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The PADC Hummingbird was the first indigenous Filipino-made helicopter.

Basically, it was a copy and re-design of the German Bo 105 helicopter. The German company that manufactured the Bo.105 threatened to impose sanctions on the Philippines Aerospace Development Company (PADC). PADC destroyed all plans and whatever hardware had been manufactured.
