Ford 5-AT Tri-Motor, 1928. Creator: Stout Metal Airplane
Air transport; Three engine; Monoplane. Ford 5-AT Tri-Motor; Affectionately known as the " Tin Goose, " the Ford Tri-Motor was the largest civil aircraft in America when it first flew on August 2, 1926. Its all-metal, corrugated aluminum construction and the prestigious Ford name made it immediately popular with passengers and airline operators. Noisy but reliable, the Ford Tri-Motor played a major role in convincing the public that air travel was safe and practical. The 5-AT, a more powerful version of the earlier 4-AT, had three Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engines and entered service in 1928. The airplane on display above was restored by American Airlines.
