Design and development
The Thaden Metal Aircraft Company was formed by Herbert von Thaden, a former United States Army Signal Corps pilot and engineer to work on developing the first American all-metal aircraft. Following on from the strut-braced T-1 the T-2 was a smaller four-seat high-wing cantilever monoplane with flaps and powered by a 150 hp (112 kW) Comet radial engine.[1]
