The Genesis 2 is a Standard Class competition glider that was designed by an American team led by Jerry Mercer.

However it is not tailless, because it has a small, all-moving tailplane on top of the vertical stabilizer.

During development it was found that carbon rods formed by the "pultrusion" process could be used to provide a stronger spar.

The production aircraft with these modifications, which flew in 1998, were called "Genesis 2".

There was a breakdown in relations between the American design group and the manufacturers, and so production was stopped after 27 had been made.
