Soal Ujian Reading Ganjil 20 21 Riki Yulian

The passage describes the Spruce Goose, the largest airplane ever built. It had a wingspan of 320 feet and weighed 200 tons, requiring eight engines. Howard Hughes designed it for the US government during WWII to carry large cargo, and it was made of wood since wood was less critical than metal during the war. The Spruce Goose only flew once, on November 2, 1947 for less than a mile by Hughes himself. It is now exhibited in Long Beach, California.

Answer :
Pesawat dengan lebar sayap terbesar yang pernah dibuat itu dijuluki Spruce Goose.
Lebar sayap Spruce Goose adalah 320 kaki (hampir 100 meter), dan berat pesawat 200 ton.
Itu sangat besar sehingga membutuhkan delapan mesin untuk menyalakannya.
Pesawat tersebut dirancang oleh Howard Hughes sebagai tanggapan atas permintaan
pemerintah AS untuk pesawat yang mampu membawa kargo besar untuk keperluan perang.
Itu terbuat dari kayu karena kayu adalah bahan yang kurang kritis di masa perang daripada
logam.
Pesawat itu sangat sulit untuk dibuat sehingga tidak pernah benar-benar digunakan.
Pesawat itu diterbangkan hanya satu kali, oleh Hughes sendiri, pada tanggal 2 November
1947; selama penerbangan itu ia menempuh jarak kurang dari satu mil di atas Pelabuhan
Los Angeles, tetapi ia terbang. Hari ini, Spruce Goose dipamerkan untuk dilihat publik di
Long Beach, California.
