Spijker V.2

The Spijker V.2, sometimes anglicized to Spyker V.2 or Spyker-Trompenburg V.2, was a low powered, tandem seat biplane designed and built for the Dutch government for pilot training towards the end of World War I.

[2] Over the fuselage was a semicircular cut out in the trailing edge of the upper wing to enhance the upward view from the rear seat.

[1] The V.2 was powered by a 60 kW (80 hp) Thulin A (Le Rhône 9C) rotary engine,[3] driving a two blade propeller and enclosed by a 360° or 270° cowling.

[2] The conventional undercarriage was fixed, with mainwheels on a single axle supported at each end on V-form struts, cross braced.
