The Delanne 30 P2 was a two-seat, French high performance glider built shortly before World War II.
Design and development
The Delanne 30 P2 had a mid-set, gull wing with an aspect ratio of 15 and fitted with camber changing flaps.
Its tapered fuselage had an oval section, the cockpit seating the two occupants in tandem under a long, multi-part glazed canopy. The rear seat was close to the wing leading edge.
It had a rounded fin, with the horizontal tail mounted at half-height.
The Delanne 30 P2 was on display at the 1938 Paris Salon. It flew until the start of World War II but probably did not survive it.
