The Bücker Bü 134, a prototype of a German single-engine, high-wing cabin monoplane, was developed in 1936 by the Bücker Flugzeugbau company as their inaugural monoplane design.
Designed for light general aviation with side-by-side seating, it featured foldable wings for easy storage.
However, flight tests were unsuccessful, leading to the decision not to proceed with series production.
The sole prototype, registered as D-EQPA, was lost in a hangar fire on May 21, 1939.
