The Boeing XB-15 was a massive experimental bomber that first flew on October 15, 1937. With a 149-foot wingspan—nearly 50% larger than the B-17—it was the biggest U.S. plane built up to then, powered by four 1,000 hp Pratt & Whitney radials, featured crew bunks, internal wing crawlways, and even set a 1939 record lifting over 31,000 pounds to 8,200 feet. Underpowered for its size, it topped out around 197 mph and never entered production. By 1943 the sole prototype was converted to a cargo transport as the XC-105, hauling freight instead of bombs during WWII.

The Russians claim that a domestically-produced heavy hexacopter is seen here delivering a load of supplies to frontline troops. A rare sighting if true, though this may just be yet another demonstration exercise of a prototype Russian heavy drone.
