Stout Bushmaster 2000

The Bushmaster 2000 is a small commuter airliner built in the United States in an attempt to revive the Ford Trimotor design.

The Bushmaster 2000 featured significant modernization of the original 1920s design, particularly in the choice of materials and construction techniques.

It also had more powerful engines, enlarged cockpit windows, a lighter and stronger aluminum-alloy skin, a foot-operated hydraulic replacement of the old Trimotor's hand-operated "Johnny Brake," a larger stabilizer and a dorsal fin to reduce yaw, modern trim tabs and interior rather than exterior control cables.

The second aircraft N750RW was completed 18 January 1985 by Ralph Williams, the President of Hydro-Forming in Long Beach, California.
