The Green-Tweed GT-2 was an American, FAI Open Class single seat glider that was designed by George Tweed Jr and Jack Green. [1]
The GT-2 was completed in 1963 and was intended to make up the performance deficiencies in the Tweed GT-1. The GT-2 had a 60 ft (18.3 m) span wing and a V-tail. [1]
Only one GT-2 was built and the aircraft was registered in the Experimental - Amateur-Built category. [1] [2]
The GT-2 was destroyed in a crash in 1969 when its ailerons became disconnected. [1]
