"Ford 4AT Tri-Motor" The "Tin Goose" was inspired by design of William B. Stoudt, whose company was bought by Henry Ford. Ford refined the basic design and put the Tri-Motor into production. It was used by virtually every airline in the United States in the early 1930s. The Tri-Motor introduced a level of luxury unknown in air travel to that time, but it was noisy, cold and slow. Despite it’s reliability, those drawbacks ended it’s career as a front line airliner within a decade of it’s introduction. |
