PZL M-2

The PZL M-2 was a Polish trainer and utility aircraft designed and built by PZL-Mielec in the late 1950s. It was intended as a successor to the Po-2 biplane, used extensively in Polish aviation. The M-2 was a low-wing monoplane powered by a single radial engine. It featured a tandem seating arrangement for the instructor and student pilot.

Development of the M-2 was ultimately cancelled in favor of procuring Soviet-built aircraft for training purposes. Only a small number of prototypes were produced. While the design showed promise, it did not enter mass production or operational service. The project's termination marked a shift in Polish aviation policy towards greater reliance on imported Soviet aircraft during the Cold War era.
