Also known as the "Spruce Goose", the Hercules is a prototype heavy military transport built in 1947. It has only made one flight. Since it has no landing gear, start from water takeoff. Use VTOL controls to open the cargo bay. Making this gigantic plane is much thougher than I thought. Due to its size, it might lag the game on water and it crashes my game while bulding it. Twice.
