At that time Brazil was conducting the "Campanha Nacional de Aviação" (National Aviation Campaign), a nationwide program focused on re-equipping and incentivizing Aero clubs and the aeronautical industry.

Jose Carlos de Barros Neiva designed then a glider which conserved the best characteristics of the Grunau Baby, widely used in Brazil at the time.

Its high wings are built around a single box spar, with a torsion resisting, plywood covered leading edge.

The landing gear is a forward skid with elastic dampers and a single, fixed wheel aft of the centre of gravity.

A single unit was produced (Serial number CTA-02 A-223[3]), for evaluation at the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of the Brazilian Air Force, and was later donated to CVV-CTA Aeroclub.
