Interesting facts about the Stout Bushmaster 2000
✈ The Stout Bushmaster 2000 was built as a modernised revival of the classic Ford Tri-Motor concept, aimed at bringing the same rugged transport idea into a later era.
✈ Development began by evaluating an original Tri-Motor, then William B. Stout acquired the design rights in the mid 1950s to support a new build programme.
✈ The project faced long delays, the prototype flew in the 1960s and only two complete airframes were ultimately finished.
✈ The aircraft kept the recognizable corrugated metal look, but it introduced lighter alloy skin and updates intended to simplify maintenance.
✈ Stout added modernised cockpit glazing and other handling updates, including stability changes intended to reduce yaw in flight.
✈ The Bushmaster 2000 used three Pratt and Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engines, which gave it more power than many original Tri-Motors.
✈ One example operated as a sightseeing aircraft, which shows how owners often used the type for experience flights and promotional work.
✈ The second completed aircraft suffered a takeoff accident at Fullerton Municipal Airport in California in September 2004, which ended active operations for that airframe.
