A classic from the 1920’s the Ford trimotor was dependable airliner for its time. While not revolutionary, Ford was even sued by both Fokker and junkers for various aspects being too close to their own designs. The trimotor proved to be one of the better airliner till the Boeing 247 and Dc2 entered service.

I made a edit of this with 8 engines the Ford Octuple Motor
really cool, you can have my follow
Nice build, too bad the wings parts are oversized compared to the fuselages wings. For info, if you rescale the wing parts (for example 0.1,0.1,0.1), they keep their original virtual wing area.
@Kerbango I haven’t seen that movie since I was a kid 😅 but will have to check that out again thx!
Seriously? Not even a shout out to the most famous Tri-motor in history.
