The IPT-2 Aratinga, was a Brazilian monoplane, single-seat glider designed and manufactured by the IPT engineers.

The aircraft was ready a year and a half after the beginning of its construction, and was towed to Cumbica, where it underwent its first flight tests, conducted by Clay Presgrave do Amaral.

[1] Once the tests were concluded, the Aratinga was towed by a de Havilland Tiger Moth aircraft to Rio de Janeiro, with stops made in São José dos Campos and Resende.

There it was presented to the public countless times, until it was bought by a young engineer José Carlos de Barros Neiva [pt], who kept a small repair shop at Manguinhos Airport.
