Hughes XH-17 Flying Crane was a heavy-lift rotorcraft designed to lift loads over 15 metric tons, developed in early 1950s with a record 134 foot two-bladed rotor. The blade chord was 4 feet 10 inches - @mechanical_4u - x.com/mechanical_4u/…

The blade chord was 4 feet 10 inches.. Howard Hughes monstrous XH-17 Flying Crane was a heavy-lift rotorcraft designed to lift loads over 15 metric tons, developed in the early 1950s with a record 134 foot two-bladed rotor. It used tip-jet propulsion from two GE J35 turbojets and scavenged parts: front gear from a B-25 Mitchell, rear gear from a C-54 Skymaster, fuel tank from a B-29 Superfortress bomb bay, cockpit from a Waco CG-15 glider, and tail rotor from a Sikorsky H-19 for yaw control. It lifted over 50,000 pounds gross, first flew October 23, 1952, but was audible 8 miles away and fuel-inefficient; only one built, XH-28 successor was canceled in 1956

Waco CG-4 Glider on a (poor quality) WW2 training video. This was the most widely used American troop/cargo military glider of the conflict, and saw action on some of the most important battles, such as the Allied Invasion of Sicily, D-Day, and Operation Market Garden, among many others. Its versatility was a great advantage for Allied logistics - see in the video a Willys Jeep swiftly being unloaded from one of the gliders. 📹Walk Among Heroes
