Detroit, Michigan is nicknamed the motor city. It is the main headquarters for General Motors, Ford and Chrysler.
I think Gerald Ford was called Jerry on occasion.
"tri"means three so a tri-motor airplane has three engines. the most common tri-motor airplane will have one engine on each front wing and one engine on the tail or back wing. many tri-motor airplanes are considered jets. "Trimotor" refers to one airplane in particular--it's made by Ford. This plane has three radial engines driving propellers. The plane's fuselage is made of corrugated metal, kind of like that you'd find on a shed roof, for extra strength. The Ford Trimotor was about as sophisticated as an anvil and nearly as reliable--some of the Trimotors, all of which were made before World War II, are still flying.
