The Timm N2T Tutor was an American training monoplane built by the Timm Aircraft Corporation for the United States Navy as the N2T-1.
[edit] Development
The Timm S-160 (or Timm PT-160K) was a conventional tandem open-cockpit monoplane trainer first flown on the 22 May 1940. It was powered by a Kinner R-5 radial engine and was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a tailwheel landing gear. It had an unusual feature in that the airframe structure was made from resin impregnated and moulded plywood. The PT-175-K variant was fitted with a Kinner R-53 engine and the PT-220-C by a 220hp (164kW) Continental W-670-6 engine. The aircraft failed to gain any orders but in 1942 a PT-220C was evaluated by the United States Navy. The Navy ordered 262 aircraft as the N2T-1.
