The Antonov A-2 and related designs were a family of two-seat training gliders produced in the Soviet Union in the 1930s and 40s all derived from the single-seat Antonov A-1 family. They were produced in large numbers with at least 2300 built by 1937 and together with the single-seaters production exceeded 7600 by the same year.Like the A-1 the A-2 was a minimalist primary glider with a conventional tail mounted on a boom and a strut-braced monoplane wing mounted parasol-fashion.
