The Spruce Goose, officially known as the Hughes H-4 Hercules, has a maximum speed of about 180 miles per hour (290 kilometers per hour). However, it was primarily designed for transport rather than speed and only made one brief flight in 1947. The aircraft is notable for its massive size and innovative design rather than its speed capabilities.
