The ANT 2, completed in 1923, was a single engined, three seat monoplane, with cabin accommodation for two pas¬sengers. It had a thick multi spar wing, triangular section fuselage and thin cor¬rugated duralumin covering, called Kol¬chugalumin after the village where it was produced. The overall design was not un¬like that of the Junkers K 16 of 1922, and indeed a close study of Junkers design and practice had been made at TsAGI since the first Junkers C.1 was captured during the civil war. Tu¬polev’s ANT 2 represented an advance over the Junkers concept of the all¬-metal (corrugated aluminum alloy), cantilever low wing monoplane. First flew on May 26, 1924.
