class=\"kicker\">The story<\/div>\n<h2>Hughes: the company and the aircraft that made its name<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">A millionaire&rsquo;s hangar<\/h3>\n<p>Hughes Aircraft began as a rich young man&rsquo;s workshop. Howard Hughes, heir to the Hughes Tool Company fortune, set it up as a division of Toolco in the early 1930s to build one aeroplane: the H-1 Racer. On 13 September 1935, near Santa Ana, he flew it at 352.39 mph to take <span class=\"imp\">the world landplane speed record<\/span>, and in January 1937 he flew a modified H-1 from Los Angeles to New York in 7 hours 28 minutes. The company moved to Culver City in 1940. At the start of the Second World War it had four full-time employees; by the end, 80,000 people worked for it, mostly building parts and struts for other firms&rsquo; aircraft.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">The flying boat that flew once<\/h3>\n<p>Hughes wanted to be a great military aircraft builder, and the war gave him his chance. His answer to U-boats sinking Atlantic convoys was a giant flying transport. Because aluminium was rationed, the H-4 Hercules was built almost entirely of birch using the Duramold process, which did not stop critics calling it the Spruce Goose. It was not ready until long after the war. On 2 November 1947, during what was billed as a taxi test at Long Beach, Hughes lifted it off the water for about a mile, <span class=\"imp\">26 seconds at 70 feet<\/span>. It never flew again. It remains the largest seaplane ever built, and held the record for the greatest wingspan of any aircraft flown until 2019.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Crash in Beverly Hills<\/h3>\n<p>The other wartime project nearly killed him. The XF-11, a twin-boom photo-reconnaissance aircraft ordered in quantity in 1943, was cut to two prototypes after the war. On 7 July 1946 Hughes took the first one up from Culver City himself. A propeller reversed pitch, and he crashed into three houses in Beverly Hills, suffering critical injuries. The failures led to a Senate investigation in 1947, one of the first to be televised. Hughes was cleared, but the military was wary of him ever after. His managers turned instead to radars and missiles, and Hughes Aircraft grew into an electronics giant that built <span class=\"imp\">the first working laser<\/span> and the first geosynchronous satellite.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">The Loach<\/h3>\n<p>Hughes kept a small band of aircraft engineers for himself. In 1948 he bought a heavy-lift helicopter design from Kellett, which became the XH-17 Flying Crane, still the holder of the record for the largest rotor ever flown. In 1955 the helicopter team moved under Hughes Tool. Its little Model 269, first flown in October 1956, became the TH-55 Osage, on which <span class=\"imp\">a generation of US Army helicopter pilots<\/span> learned to fly. Then in 1965 Hughes won the Army&rsquo;s Light Observation Helicopter contest with the egg-shaped Model 369, the OH-6 Cayuse. Pilots called it the Loach. In 1966 it set 23 world helicopter records, and 1,420 OH-6As were built, many lost in Vietnam.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sh\">Apache<\/h3>\n<p>The last great Hughes design was the one that endures. In 1972 the Army asked for an Advanced Attack Helicopter, and Hughes&rsquo;s Model 77, the YAH-64, first flew on 30 September 1975 and beat Bell&rsquo;s YAH-63 for the contract. Howard Hughes died in 1976, his holdings by then grouped as the Summa Corporation. In 1981 the helicopter arm became Hughes Helicopters, Inc., and in 1983 the first production AH-64 Apache rolled out of a new plant at Mesa, Arizona. Summa sold the company to McDonnell Douglas in January 1984. The Apache, now built by Boeing, passed 2,700 deliveries, and the Hughes 500 lives on with MD Helicopters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"pull\">Howard Hughes built record racers and a wooden flying boat that flew once, then his helicopter men gave the US Army the Loach and the Apache, before the whole business was sold to McDonnell Douglas.<cite>Hughes &middot; verified 2026-10-03<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Hughes in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>The company<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>In short<\/dt>\n<dd>Founded 1932<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>Formed by Howard Hughes as a division of the Hughes Tool Company<\/li>\n<li>Moved to Culver City, California, in 1940<\/li>\n<li>Helicopter arm split off under Hughes Tool in 1955<\/li>\n<li>Hughes Helicopters sold to McDonnell Douglas in 1984<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Production<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Best known for<\/dt>\n<dd>OH-6 and AH-64 Apache<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>Famous types: H-1 Racer, H-4 Hercules, TH-55, OH-6, Hughes 500, AH-64<\/li>\n<li>1,420 OH-6As built for the US Army<\/li>\n<li>Nearly 3,000 Model 269\/300 helicopters built by Hughes, Schweizer and licensees<\/li>\n<li>Apache production passed 2,700 under Hughes, McDonnell Douglas and Boeing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Today<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Now<\/dt>\n<dd>Designs built by Boeing and MD Helicopters<\/p>\n<ul class=\"gl\">\n<li>AH-64 Apache built by Boeing at Mesa, Arizona<\/li>\n<li>Hughes 500 family built by MD Helicopters<\/li>\n<li>H-4 Hercules on display at McMinnville, Oregon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"gnote\">The electronics business, Hughes Aircraft, was sold to General Motors in 1985 and to Raytheon in 1997.<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>The numbers<\/h4>\n<dl>\n<dt>Hughes Aircraft workforce<\/dt>\n<dd>4 at start of WWII, 80,000 by the end<\/dd>\n<dt>Hughes Aircraft workforce<\/dt>\n<dd>17,000<span class=\"gnote\">1953<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>OH-6A Cayuse built<\/dt>\n<dd>1,420<\/dd>\n<dt>TH-55 Osage delivered to US Army<\/dt>\n<dd>792<span class=\"gnote\">1969<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>Model 269\/300 family built (all makers)<\/dt>\n<dd>nearly 3,000<\/dd>\n<dt>AH-64 Apaches delivered (all makers)<\/dt>\n<dd>more than 2,700<span class=\"gnote\">2024<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>H-4 Hercules development cost<\/dt>\n<dd>$23 million<\/dd>\n<dt>McDonnell Douglas purchase price<\/dt>\n<dd>$470 million to $500 million (sources differ)<span class=\"gnote\">1984<\/span><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"fleet\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">The aircraft<\/div>\n<h2>Every notable Hughes aircraft<\/h2>\n<div class=\"acgrid\"><a class=\"acard\" href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/ah-64-apache\/\"><span class=\"im ph3\"><\/span><span class=\"tx\"><b>Hughes AH-64 Apache<\/b><em>Attack helicopter &middot; first flight 1975 &middot; more than 2,700 by 2024 built<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"pcred\">Photos: U.S. Army \/ Spc.
