This was a military prototype (long range reconnaissance aircraft) designed by Howard Hughes for the Uninted States Army Air Forces in 1943. Although 100 F-11s were ordered in 1943, only two prototypes and a mockup were built. During the first XF-11 flight Howard Hughes crashed the aircraft in Beverly Hills California. The program was extremely controversial from the beginning, leading the U.S Senate to investigate the XF-11 and the Hughes H-4 Hercules flying boat in 1947-1948
