Biographical History
Henry Ford bought the Stout Metal Airplane Company in July 1925, and in 1927 produced the first all-metal tri-motor aircraft, which pilots called the "Tin Goose." The plane was designed to fly on two engines as well as it did on three and could maintain level flight with only one engine operating. Its length was 49 feet, 10 inches and the wingspan was 74 feet. It had two-blade metal propellers and a maximum speed of 130 mph, faster for its day than any other form of transportation.
