Howard Hughes H-1 Racer.
During his work on his movie Hell's Angels -1930s, Hughes employed Glenn Odekirk to maintain the fleet of over
100 aircraft used in the production. The two men shared a common interest in aviation and hatched a plan to build a record beating aircraft. The plane was given many names, but is commonly known as the H-1. It was the first aircraft model produced by Hughes Aircraft Corporation. Many groundbreaking technologies were developed during the construction process, including individually machined flush rivets that left the aluminium skin of the aircraft completely smooth. Also it hadretractable landing gear to further increase the speed of the plane. It was fitted with a Pratt & Whitney R-1535 twin-row 14-cylinder radial engine of 25.2 liters, putting out over 1,000 horsepower. This image was created using screenshots from a flight sim game.
