The Hughes Bulldog is a high-powered monoplane, intended to appeal to the lower-price end of the market. Eschewing the pusher-propeller design so characteristic of the Devastator and Bloodhawk airframe, the Bulldog is designed for inner-city use. The Bulldog's powerful engine and rear-mounted cockpit and main wing assembly give it a fantastic straight-line speed, although the inverted gullwings mean that the craft has a higher-than-average turning circle.
