The Grand Duchess:
The Grand Duchess is the 'older sister' of the smaller Victor Duchess, offered to the market at the same time, it was a longer, stretched version with four engines instead of two to meet regulations on flights over long stretches of water.
The Grand Duchess wasn't much successful, as it didn't offer much over its counterparts, and the 4 engines counteracted the increase in carried passengers in terms of revenue.
Most Grand Duchess' have been retired as oil prices rose and better options fulfilling the exact same role appeared on the market.
Some select examples still fly, mainly in cargo guises and in private hands.

@LonelyAustrianUhlan I found out what it was a c17a crashed into me
@DeutscheLufthansaAG No offense but I'm pretty sure that it has to be either something you've done or a bug in your game since the max speed of this is +-670 km/h (on full graphics+physics as well), idk maybe you spawned with speed or something like that (like on a saved location), but other then that I have no idea except for maybe a bug or Ai striking you, but no matter how much I test it, it gets fairly quickly to 670 km/h and then practically stops, very very slowly gaining speed afterwards ( +1 km/h a minute on fast forward but never gets above 680) so idk -(- -)-
It flew at over 5000 mph and blew up on the ground for some reason but I didn't even do anything I have full graphics+physics
