Has their been any analysis done as to just how aerodynamic the Hughes H-1 and H-1 replica was?
We all know the speeds that Hughes and Jim Wright had there aircraft up to..... with aruably limited power.
Jim Wright stated that the propeller he had on his craft actually started to bog the plane down at higher RPM. Would a more powerful engine (r-2800 or possible retrofit to RR Merlin ) result in higher speeds for the H-1?
