A design by Howard Hughes from 1935 to surpass speed records of the time; the last private aircraft company to do so. The H-1 achieved a speed of 352 mph.
Currently located in the National Air and Space Museum.
Design still needs a lot of work, definitely needs adjustments to performance and small visual tweaks as well as a redesign on the landing gear system. (Next variant is already being made)
