Huge lift, huge drag, with the right headwind will happily fly at zero groundspeed. The Stout those were derived from was a single engine ship if you can imagine it.
I've ridden in one. Quite the Ride. Like sitting in lounge chair in your living room. We fly south along the 99 freeway, and happily watched all the traffic pass us. Pilot said we were flying along at about 50-52 miles an hour.
A Ford Tri-Motor, I believe they were built in the early 30's.
