The T2 is designed and built for maximum competition and cross country performance for the most serious and highly skilled pilots. With an airframe fully cantilevered for negative loads, the T2 requires no external structural bracing on the top of the wing. In combination with a nearly 100% double surface, a high aspect ratio, and low twist planform, the T2 provides an exceptionally high level of aerodynamic efficiency. In July 2008, Dustin Martin flew 410 miles on a T2 in Texas.
