Standard H-2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Standard H-2 was an early American Army reconnaissance aircraft, ordered in 1916.

Built by the Standard Aircraft Corporation, the H-2, based on the Sloane H-2, was an open-cockpit three-place tractor biplane, powered by a 125 hp (90 kW) Hall-Scott A-5 engine. Only three were built.

An improved version, the H-3, with the same engine, earned an order for nine aircraft, while the Navy ordered three with floats as the H-4H.
