Horatio Frederick Phillips (born 1845 in Streatham[1] – 1924) was an early aviation pioneer from Great Britain. He was famous for building multiplanes with many more sets of lift surfaces (sustainers, as he called them) than would be normal on modern aircraft.

The An-225 Mriya (Ukrainian: Ðнтонов Ðн-225 МріÑ, NATO reporting name: ‘Cossack’) is a strategic airlift transport aircraft which was built by the Antonov Design Bureau (Kyiv, Kharkiv in Ukraine) during the Soviet era, and is the largest fixed-wing aircraft ever built. The design, built to transport the Buran orbiter, was an enlargement of the successful An-124 Ruslan. Mriya (МрiÑ) means “Dream” (Inspiration) in Ukrainian.
The Antonov An-225 is commercially available for flying any over-sized payload due to the unique size of its cargo deck. Currently there is only one aircraft operating.

The Hughes H-4 Hercules (registration NX37602) was a prototype heavy transport aircraft designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft company. The aircraft made its only flight on November 2, 1947. Built from wood because of wartime raw material restrictions on the use of aluminum, it was nicknamed the “Spruce Goose” by its critics. The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, and has the largest wingspan and height of any aircraft in history. It survives in good condition at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, USA.

The Sequoia F.8L Falco is a lightweight 2-seater aerobatic aircraft, sold in kit or plans form for self-assembly by the Sequoia Aircraft Company of Richmond, Virginia. The aircraft is single-engined, propeller driven and designed for private and general aviation use.
The aircraft was designed by the renowned Italian designer Stelio Frati in 1955, and originally built in Italy by Aeromere (later Laverda) for sale, but the design was adopted in the US in the 1980s and converted to kit form. The aircraft is widely considered to be one of the best handling, strongest, and most aesthetically pleasing designs ever made available to home builders. The makers call it “the Ferrari of the air”, and like the car, it is very expensive compared with most homebuild kits.
