Teh Бушмастер 2000 был небольшой пригородный авиалайнер, построенный в Соединенных Штатах в попытке возродить дизайн Ford Trimotor. Работы начались в 1953 году путем тестирования винтажного Тримотора, а в 1954 году Билл Стаут приобрел права на дизайн оригинального Trimotor. Из-за "Ford Tri-Motor" проблемы лицензирования, Ford 15-AT-D получил имя Bushmaster 2000. 15 января 1955 года Стаут и его партнер Роберт Хейден из Авиастроительной корпорации Хейдена объявили, что планируют построить 1000 новых Bushmasters, но прошло одиннадцать лет, прежде чем первый прототип нового дизайна полетел.

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.
