Ford Tri Motor American Airlines

Ford Motor Company built 199 Tri-Motors from 1926 through 1933. EAA’s model 4-AT-E was number 146 off Ford’s innovative assembly line and first flew on August 21, 1929. It was sold to Pitcairn Aviation’s passenger division, Eastern Air Transport, whose paint scheme is replicated on EAA’s Tri-Motor. This is why our Ford resides in the Pitcairn hangar at Pioneer Airport. Eastern Air Transport later became Eastern Airlines.

Product List

Convair 990 Coronado American Airlines Model Airplane
A unique identifying feature of the Convair 990 was the incorporation of two, large anti-shock bodies (or “pods”) on the rear of each wing. These were added to reduce the effect of the drag-inducing shock wave that develops as a lifting surface (the wing) moves at speeds between Mach 0.8 and Mach 1.0, the speed of sound. An added benefit of the pods was their easy adaptability as fuel tanks, and each pod was equipped with an aft fuel jettison nozzle for quick weight reduction in an emergency - which, combined with the earlier described features of the 990, made it an altogether oustanding jet.

Fokker 100 American Airlines
Fokker's largest aircraft, the Fokker 100 is a 100 seat jet airliner based on the F-28 Fellowship, but stretched and thoroughly modernized. Fokker announced it was developing the Fokker 100 simultaneously with the Fokker 50 turboprop in November 1983. The Fokker 100 is based on the basic F-28 airframe, with the most important and obvious change being the stretched fuselage, increasing maximum seating to 122, compared with 85 in the F-28-4000 (on which the 100 is based).

L-188 Electra American Airlines
The Lockheed L-188 Electra represented a major step in technology over the piston-powered airliners in use during the 1950's. Thanks to the use of turboprops the Electra was about 100 mph faster than its predecessors and it was much more efficient. It offered space to up to around 100 passengers. In spite of a promising start, some major accidents harmed the prospects of the Electra. After the technical problems were overcome, the L-188 proved to be a very reliable airliner.
