"I've put the sweat of my life into this thing. I have my reputation rolled up in it. And I have stated several times that if it's a failure I'll probably leave this country and never come back. And I mean it!" -Howard Hughes

It flew just fine. Rest of the stupid commentators can STFU.
The film shows it in the air. He fulfilled the contract.

He got it in the air to prove that it would fly, nothing else, as the powers that be were calling it a failure and trying to crucify him, because he did exactly as they asked, built exactly what they wanted, the demand being of wood, and since there was no longer of need, they didn't want to pay for it. It wasn't on time because it was never done before, like everything else the gov does, they want too much, right now, and then don't want to pay for it
