The Hughes H-1 Racer was an engineering marvel built by Hughes Aircraft in 1935, a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. Glenn Odekirk, the aircraft's ingenious designer, had a vision of creating a speed demon that would leave all others in its wake. In 1934, he put his model version through rigorous testing in a wind tunnel, revealing an astonishing potential speed of 365 mph. The full-sized H-1 was built shortly after, incorporating numerous groundbreaking technologies that set it apart from its contemporaries. Machined flush rivets and retractable landing gear helped reduce drag, making the aircraft even faster and more efficient. Powered by a mighty Pratt & Whitney R-1535 engine tuned to deliver over 1000 horsepower, the H-1 was an unstoppable force on the runway. On August 19, 1935, Howard Hughes pushed the H-1 to its limits, shattering the landplane speed record with an incredible 352 mph. Unfortunately, his triumphant flight came to a sudden end when he ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing in a beet field. Undeterred, Hughes continued to push the boundaries of aviation. In 1937, the H-1 was upgraded with longer wings, allowing it to break yet another record: the transcontinental speed record. Today, the original Hughes H-1 Racer takes pride of place at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, a lasting tribute to its remarkable history and achievements. Purchase this incredible model for just $59.00 and experience the thrill of flying the Hughes H-1 Racer for yourself. Last updated on August 6, 2015. Product ID: 55c3592fccff75b0688b4674
