Accordingly, he undertook aircraft development and testing. The Tri-Motor was developed from several earlier designs and became America?s first successful airliner.The Ford Tri-Motor came out at the end of the barnstorming era when public distrust of aviation was at an all time high. Accidents were very common in those days, and the government had just stepped in to regulate aircraft. Many of the surplus World War I aircraft had been part of the problem and could not meet the new standards. Beginning in 1925, Ford sponsored ?Air Safety? tours in an attempt to show the public that aviation could be safe and reliable.The Ford Tri-Motor was involved in another interesting attempt to get the public to fly. The plan was to take passengers ?Coast to Coast? in 48 hours! Starting in the evening in New York, passengers would board a train where they were treated to a nice meal, then went to bed. Waking up in Port Columbus, Ohio, they disembarked and were whisked to an airport, where they would fly all day in a Ford Tri-Motor. Arriving late afternoon in Waynoka, Kansas, they then boarded another train for an all night run to Clovis, New Mexico. The final leg of the journey was in a Ford Tri-Motor, which would arrive in Los Angeles by nightfall and in less than 48 hours.
