Nicholson Junior KN-2

The Nicholson Junior KN-2 was a low power, high wing, two seat, cabin monoplane intended for sport or flight training in the United States in the late 1920s.

The Junior KN-2 (KN came from the initials of builder Kenny and designer Nicholson) was a high wing monoplane with 5° of sweep and 1.5° of dihedral.

The fabric-covered wings used the popular, flat-bottomed Clark Y profile and were built around laminated spars, aluminium alloy (Hyblum) ribs and steel tube drag struts.

Behind the wing the fuselage tapered to the tail with the tailplane mounted on top, wire-braced from a triangular fin which carried a broad and largely straight-edged rudder.

[1] Its benign flight characteristics had been established by June 1931[1] but with the Great Depression deepening, only one was completed.
