Things went rather well until Henry Ford started selling Model T cars and Johnson Motor needed to find another way to sell off those little engines. Over the next four years, they pieced together the resources to being producing small 2-cycle engines to power an airplane prop and push a motorboat and even tried it on a bicycle. They also constructed a 2-cycle airplane engine which enabled them to make America's first monoplane flight.Ī storm destroyed the airplane and related engine shop in 1913. They built a small inboard marine engine to power their rowboat up the Wabash River to their favorite walnut gathering spot. The Johnson motor got it's name from four Terre Haute, Indiana, brothers, Lou, Harry, Julius and Clarence.
