Hughes Aircraft is a location in L.A. Noire. It is featured in the Arson DLC case Nicholson Electroplating. Hughes Aircraft is owned by business magnate Howard Hughes.


During the DLC case it is possible to enter one of the hangars and explore the famous Spruce Goose aircraft. Otherwise, only the exterior of the facility can be accessed during regular cases and free roam. The player will note a number of doors in the hangar have gold doorknobs, yet they cannot be entered at any point in the game.
