The Fletcher FBT-2 was a military trainer aircraft built in the United States in the early 1940s. Although it was never used in its intended role it played a small part in the development of guided bombs. The FBT-2 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage which seated the pilot and instructor in tandem in an enclosed cockpit. Construction throughout was of plywood and the wings were interchangeable as were the tail panels.
