Another plane that hails back to the World War II era is the HK-1, fondly known as the “Spruce Goose”. While it never made it past the prototype stage it did see a couple of voyages, one of which was just 70 feet. The aircraft which was designed primarily in order to transport cargo and men for large distances. The 400,000 pound flying machine was originally constructed to be able to carry troops not necessarily during critical wartime. Hughes sure was invested in the building of the HK-1 that e spent $18 million of his personal net worth in order to complete the construction.
This model was however useful for one thing; it’s been used as inspiration for similar, larger planes. It’s now at its final resting place, at the Evergreen Aviation Museum.
