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.
