Handasyde H.2

The largely wooden wing was irregularly trapezoidal in plan, thick in the centre and thinning, with a change in profile to flat-bottomed, outwards.

Behind the engine the fuselage was flat-sided and deep, with the pilot in an open cockpit recessed into the wing leading edge.

[2][3] The completed H.2 had an almost straight-edged, broad-chord fin with a polygonal, slightly pointed, balanced rudder which reached down to the keel.

[5] Its tailplane, which could be trimmed in flight, was mounted on top of the fuselage and carried separate elevators; in plan the horizontal tail was trapezoidal.

[2] Three H.2s were ordered by the Larkin Aircraft Supply Company (LASCo) of Australia to serve routes from Adelaide to Sydney and to Brisbane.

[4] The H.2 cabin structure, landing gear and Eagle VIII engine mountings were incorporated into the 1926 ANEC III.
