The Ford Trimotor, nicknamed the "Tin Goose," was the world's first luxury airliner when it first flew in the late 1920s. It featured an aluminum corrugated sheet-metal body and wings, powered by three 420-hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engines, and was chosen by Admiral Byrd for his successful flight over the South Pole on November 28, 1929, due to its rugged dependability.
