The ACAZ T.2 was a Belgian aircraft, one of the world's first monoplanes built entirely of metal. Designed by Alfred Renard and Professor Emile Allard (Director of the Belgian Technical Service) in 1924, the T-2 was a high-wing monoplane equipped with fixed landing gear, powered by a 75 horsepower (56 kW) Anzani engine.[1] It was the first all-metal aircraft to be built in Belgium.[2] First flown on 19 December 1924, the type did not attract any buyers and so it never entered production;[3] only one plane was built, being scrapped in March 1931.[4]
