The RTAF-2, officially designated B.ThO.2 (Thai: บ.ทอ.๒),^[2] is a single-engine training and liaison aircraft that was developed by the Royal Thai Air Force's Science and Weapon Systems Development Centre in 1957.^[1]^[3]

Development

The RTAF-2 was developed from the Fuji LM-1 Nikko, itself a derivative of the Beechcraft Bonanza. One prototype was built in 1957 and tested in 1957–58, although no further production followed.^[1]^[3]^[4]

By 1984 the sole example had been turned over to the Royal Thai Air Force Museum, Don Mueang District, Bangkok.^[5]
