The Hughes H-1 is a racing aircraft built by Hughes Aircraft in 1935. It set the record for the fastest aircraft in the world and the record for the flight from west to east of the United States of America. It was the last aircraft designed and built privately with the intention of breaking a speed record. Controls: AG1-Flaps and Pitch + Trim-Elevator.
