这 布什大师2000年 是一架在美国建造的小型通勤客机，试图恢复福特三电机的设计。工作始于1953年，通过测试一个老式的三电机，并于1954年比尔·斯托特购买了原始三电机的设计权。由于“福特三电机”的许可问题，福特15-AT-D被赋予了布什马斯特2000的名字。1955年1月15日，斯托特和海登飞机公司的合伙人罗伯特·海登宣布他们计划建造1000辆新的布什马斯特，但新设计的第一架原型机需要十一年的时间才能飞出。

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.
