Hughes H-4 Hercules

An eight-engine wooden flying-boat prototype that made one brief flight in 1947.
Seaplane1 opções de perfil

Conheça o avião

The H-4 Hercules was conceived as a wartime transatlantic transport and completed after the war. Eight engines and an immense wing surrounded its flying-boat hull. The prototype made one brief flight on 2 November 1947 and never entered operational transport service.

The familiar Spruce Goose nickname conceals a construction detail: birch was a major material in the wooden airframe. The simulator represents this single experimental aircraft.

Different memories of the decision to take off

In AOPA’s 2000 article, Jack Real relays a different explanation he said Hughes had given him privately: the aircraft became airborne while Hughes was exploring the effect of additional flap. Marsh also discusses recollections suggesting deliberate intent. These later versions conflict with one another and with parts of the immediate reporting; the article does not establish a single uncontested account.

The person in the copilot’s seat was an engineer

Norman Polmar identifies Dave Grant as the project’s chief hydraulic engineer and explicitly says he was not a pilot. Accounts that call Grant the copilot describe his position aboard the aircraft. His presence does not provide evidence of another person piloting the H-4.

The crew remembers crowded workspaces and ordinary pleasures

At the fiftieth-anniversary reunion, flight engineer Don Smith remembered a remarkably crowded flight deck. Systems mechanic Van Storm discussed the care taken over glued joints, while engine mechanic Mel Glaser recalled fishing beneath the wing during shift work. These brief recollections connect the enormous aircraft with the everyday lives of the people who built and tended it.

A wartime transport built around a demanding material choice

Henry Kaiser’s proposal aimed to move people and supplies across the Atlantic while avoiding submarine attacks. Restrictions on materials needed for the war helped shape the wooden structure. The museum describes Duramold, a laminated material made primarily from birch. Kaiser withdrew during development, leaving Hughes to continue the project that became the H-4 Hercules.

An enormous move makes preservation possible

The aircraft’s move to Oregon required disassembly and transport by barge along the coast and inland waterways. Water levels affected the journey, and trucks carried the final sections to McMinnville in February 1993. Volunteers worked on restoration in temporary accommodation before reassembly and the museum’s opening in 2001.

Published performance figures describe estimates

AOPA explicitly labels its H-4 performance table as estimated. A single brief flight over the harbour could not demonstrate a transport’s operational range, cruising performance or service ceiling. The dimensions describe the built aircraft; the performance figures are estimates.

Hughes describes the brief flight over a crowded harbour

Hughes told reporters that the decision to leave the water came only as he made it. Once the aircraft was moving on the step, it felt good enough to take off. He described the controls favourably and was pleased with the landing, explaining that the confined harbour left little room for a longer flight.

The setting had been awkward even before that moment. Shifting winds and pleasure boats disrupted attempts to clear a usable course. Afterwards, Hughes spoke to the press over coffee and credited the people who had helped build the aircraft. He still described further flying as something planned for the following spring. These were his immediate public remarks, rather than a settled explanation of everything that happened.

Hughes H-4 Hercules

Free + Pro
MSFS 2024MSFS 2020

The H-4 Hercules was conceived as a wartime transatlantic transport and completed after the war. Eight engines and an immense wing surrounded its flying-boat hull. The prototype made one brief flight on 2 November 1947 and never entered operational transport service.

This starting point selects Hughes H-4 Hercules. Its aircraft-level settings do not select a particular developer’s custom systems.

The profile supplies selected control resistance for the large prototype. Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.

Trim response accompanies the simulator rendition of that one aircraft programme. Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is off.

Controls and trim

The H-4 was an eight-engine wooden flying-boat transport conceived during wartime and completed afterwards. Its sole brief flight on 2 November 1947 made it a singular experimental aircraft rather than an operational fleet.

About the values

The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.

Master gain & control system

Master gain85%

A escala final de saída aplicada a tudo que o modelo produz, antes do teto do dispositivo.

Mais: tudo (mola, cargas, efeitos) fica mais forte junto.

Menos: tudo amacia junto.

Por que aqui: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.

Forces

Spring strength80%

A força base de centragem que puxa o manche de volta ao centro. Todas as outras forças se empilham sobre ela. Baixa demais e o manche parece frouxo em voo normal; alta demais e ele briga com sua mão e mascara os sinais menores por cima.

Mais: uma centragem mais firme que resiste mais à mão.

Menos: um manche mais mole que depende só da carga aerodinâmica.

Por que aqui: The profile supplies selected control resistance for the large prototype. The baseline spring is 0.8. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 65 KIAS.

Evergreen Museum Spruce Goose
Spring deadband4%

Uma pequena zona neutra ao redor do centro onde a mola fica quieta, para que movimentos mínimos em repouso não trepidem. Mais larga é mais calma porém mais solta; mais estreita é mais precisa mas pode tremer no centro.

Mais: um centro mais calmo porém mais solto, com mais folga.

Menos: um centro mais apertado que pode tremer em repouso.

Por que aqui: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.

Overall aerodynamic load25%

Uma escala mestra sobre as duas cargas sustentadas de eixo, aplicada antes do balanço independente delas. Os perfis normalmente a deixam quieta e ajustam as duas cargas de eixo.

Mais: os dois eixos carregam mais forte.

Menos: os dois eixos aliviam juntos.

Por que aqui: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.25 with an indicated-speed reference of 130 KIAS. The hydraulic-load factor of 0.35 scales that modeled term; it is a selected artificial-feel approximation.

Airspeed blendingTrue

Ativa a janela de engate da mola em baixa velocidade (nós de início/pleno acima). Desligado, a mola é constante em todas as velocidades.

Por que aqui: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.

Low-speed spring floor55%

Quanto da mola sobrevive parado, antes que a velocidade possa gerar força aerodinâmica. Um piso alto mantém o manche estacionado firme; um piso baixo dá a sensação solta, de cabos com folga, de um avião leve estacionado.

Mais: um manche mais firme estacionado e no táxi.

Menos: um manche mole estacionado que só desperta com velocidade.

Por que aqui: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.

Spring engagement start18.2 kt

A velocidade em que a mola começa a subir do piso de baixa velocidade rumo à força plena: os comandos "ganhando vida" na corrida de decolagem.

Por que aqui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.

Spring engagement full65.0 kt

A velocidade em que a mola atinge força plena. Entre o início e este ponto, a centragem endurece progressivamente à medida que o fluxo de ar cresce sobre os comandos.

Por que aqui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.

Velocidade de ajuste de força130

A velocidade indicada em que a carga aerodinâmica atinge seu nível pleno de projeto. Ela ancora toda a curva de carga à faixa real de velocidades do avião: um 172 carrega por volta de 110 nós, um jato bem depois.

Mais: as cargas chegam mais tarde; o manche fica leve até mais velocidade.

Menos: as cargas chegam antes e o cruzeiro pesa mais.

Por que aqui: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.

Centre firmness vs speed0%

Quanto a própria centragem endurece com a velocidade, além das cargas de deflexão. Zero mantém a sensação de centro constante; mais faz o manche centrar mais duro em cruzeiro e mais solto no circuito.

Mais: um centro que endurece nitidamente com a velocidade.

Menos: uma sensação de centro constante em qualquer velocidade.

Por que aqui: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0. No additional speed-driven stiffening is added; this does not disable independent aerodynamic loading.

Centre stiffening cap5

O limite superior do endurecimento de centro pela velocidade, para que voos muito rápidos não tensionem a mola sem freio.

Mais: mais endurecimento total permitido em alta velocidade.

Menos: o endurecimento corta antes.

Por que aqui: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.

Aileron load65%

A carga sustentada de rolagem da deflexão dos ailerons e da velocidade, balanceada independentemente da arfagem. Junto com a carga do profundor define a razão de harmonia de comandos de que falam as resenhas.

Mais: esforços de rolagem mais pesados.

Menos: ailerons mais leves e vivos.

Por que aqui: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.65 and 0.65, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.

Elevator load65%

A carga sustentada de arfagem da deflexão do profundor e da velocidade, balanceada independentemente da rolagem. É a alavanca principal por trás do peso de arfagem de um tipo. Não toca aileron, mola, compensador nem forças de buffet.

Mais: esforços sustentados de arfagem mais pesados em velocidade.

Menos: um profundor mais leve, com menos músculo para segurar.

Por que aqui: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.

Max output force55%

Um teto sobre cada força estável de arfagem ou rolagem antes de chegar ao dispositivo, protegendo contra pancadas ou saturação do hardware em manobras fortes.

Mais: picos de força estável mais altos antes do corte.

Menos: um teto mais suave; manobras duras achatam antes.

Por que aqui: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.

Trim

Trim relief (elevator)30%

Com que força o compensador de profundor alivia o esforço de arfagem mantido e desloca onde o manche assenta. Em 100 %, um avião bem compensado não precisa de pressão mantida: o fluxo de trabalho de compensar-a-carga do voo real.

Mais: o compensador tira mais esforço mantido; em 100 %, todo compensado o anula.

Menos: você segue segurando esforço mesmo compensado.

Por que aqui: Trim response accompanies the simulator rendition of that one aircraft programme. Pitch authority 0.3 relieves permitted loading; hydraulic centre movement is off. Roll authority is 0.09.

Evergreen Museum Spruce Goose
Trim relief (aileron)9%

O mesmo alívio para o compensador de rolagem. A maioria dos tipos de aviação geral não tem compensador de aileron real, então isto fica em zero; tipos com compensador de rolagem recebem um valor correspondente.

Mais: o compensador de rolagem tira mais esforço mantido.

Menos: o compensador de rolagem faz menos.

Por que aqui: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.

Effect gains · Ground

Runway rumble40%

Vibração de rolagem no solo pela velocidade das rodas e tipo de superfície: asfalto, grama ou cascalho sob o trem.

Mais: uma textura de superfície mais forte no manche.

Menos: um táxi mais liso.

Por que aqui: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.

Gear bumps32%

Solavancos curtos e discretos de juntas de dilatação, sulcos e superfície irregular, pontuando o ronco contínuo.

Mais: solavancos mais nítidos de juntas e sulcos.

Menos: detalhes de solo mais suaves.

Por que aqui: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.

Effect gains · Airframe

Stall buffet30%

Sacudida da célula ao se aproximar do estol e enquanto o aviso soa: quão alto esta asa anuncia que está infeliz. Tipos de quebra seca recebem buffet modesto e deixam a buzina levar o aviso.

Mais: um tremor pré-estol mais forte.

Menos: uma asa mais discreta; a buzina leva o aviso.

Por que aqui: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.

Mach buffet0%

Buffet transônico ao se aproximar do limite de Mach. Significativo para jatos perto de MMO, zero para pistões e turboélices que nunca chegam lá.

Mais: um buffet transônico mais forte perto do limite de Mach.

Menos: um voo mais liso em Mach alto.

Por que aqui: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.

Flap buffet14%

Vibração de baixa frequência da célula com flapes estendidos no fluxo, na janela de velocidade em que eles realmente trabalham o ar.

Mais: um voo mais áspero com flapes trabalhando.

Menos: flapes de aproximação mais suaves.

Por que aqui: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.

Gear buffet0%

Tamborilar da célula pelo trem retrátil pendurado na corrente de ar. Zero para tipos de trem fixo, onde a célula nunca muda de forma.

Mais: mais tamborilar com o trem embaixo.

Menos: um voo com trem embaixo mais limpo.

Por que aqui: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.

Stick shaker90%

O zumbido dedicado do stick shaker de estol, disparado pelo próprio sistema de aviso do avião. Só tipos com shaker real recebem valor; o resto confia no buffet aerodinâmico e na buzina.

Mais: um shaker mais duro.

Menos: um shaker mais discreto.

Por que aqui: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.

Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag

Touchdown thump90%

O golpe único quando as rodas tocam a pista, escalado pela razão de descida: um pouso macio sussurra, uma chegada firme bate.

Mais: um golpe mais duro no toque.

Menos: chegadas mais suaves.

Por que aqui: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.

Reverse rumble0%

Vibração na corrida enquanto o reverso ou as hélices em beta trabalham. Zero para tipos sem reverso.

Mais: uma corrida mais áspera sob reverso.

Menos: um reverso mais discreto.

Por que aqui: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.

Engine rumble12%

Vibração contínua do grupo motopropulsor seguindo a rotação entre marcha lenta e potência máxima, o lembrete sempre presente de que algo queima combustível lá na frente.

Mais: mais motor no manche.

Menos: um motor mais discreto.

Por que aqui: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.

Flap motion12%

Vibração contínua apenas enquanto o simulador informa as superfícies de flape realmente em movimento. Segue o movimento e as falhas reais do atuador, não um cronômetro estimado.

Mais: mais vibração com os flapes em movimento.

Menos: cursos de flape mais discretos.

Por que aqui: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.

Autopilot follow

AP follow authority10%

Quanto os comandos do piloto automático podem mover fisicamente o manche. Mantido minúsculo no MSFS, onde um eixo movido pode ser lido de volta como entrada do piloto; zero desativa o seguimento por completo.

Mais: o piloto automático move seu manche visivelmente mais.

Menos: um seguimento quase imperceptível.

Por que aqui: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
