2007 Bushmaster 2000 oli väike pendellennuk, mis ehitati Ameerika Ühendriikides, püüdes taaselustada Ford Trimotori disaini. Töö algas 1953. aastal vintage Trimotori testimisega ja 1954. aastal ostis Bill Stout algse Trimotori disainiõigused. "Ford Tri-Motor" litsentsimisprobleemide tõttu anti Ford 15-AT-D-le Bushmaster 2000 nimi. 15. jaanuaril 1955 teatasid Stout ja partner Robert Hayden Hayden Aircraft Corporationist, et kavatsevad ehitada 1,000 uut Bushmasterit, kuid kulus üksteist aastat, enne kui uue disaini esimene prototüüp lendas.

General Characteristics and Design
The Stout Bushmaster 2000 was a small commuter airliner built in the United States during the 1960s and 1980s. It was an ambitious, modernized attempt to revive the design of the famous Ford Tri-Motor (“Tin Goose”) from the 1920s. Bill Stout, the original designer of the Tri-Motor, bought back the design rights with the intent to produce a simple, rugged, and economical transport aircraft for the “bush flying” market. Although the Bushmaster 2000 featured modern engines, hydraulic brakes, larger windows, and a lighter aluminum-alloy skin, only two examples were ever completed due to competition from contemporary designs and financial issues.
