The United States Air Force was looking for a solution to mass transportation of military assets if conflict brakes out across the globe. The H-4 Hercules 2 “Spruce Goose” was supposed to be able to carry 150,000 pounds of weight inside it. Meaning either 750 troops full capacity, or for example 30-ton Sherman tanks. The 200-ton eight engine super transporter had only one flight in 1947, and the project was scrapped after the plane did not even make it off the ground.
