01
Artifact Overview
In 1928, the Stout Metal Airplane Company, a division of Ford Motor Company, introduced a new airliner. The 5-AT was faster and more powerful than its popular predecessor, the 4-AT. It had a longer wingspan and higher passenger capacity, and became the most successful all-metal, multi-engine passenger plane in the country. Virtually all existing airlines flew Ford 5-ATs.
