URMV-3 IS-2
The IS-2 was an intermediate training glider designed by Iosif Şilimon and built in Romania in the 1950s at the URMV-3 (Rom: Uzinele de Reparatii Material Volant-3 - Glider repair and manufacture factory) factory at Brașov.
The IS-2 was designed as an intermediate training glider. Construction was largely of wood with fabric and plywood skinning, similar to the Grunau Baby pre-war German glider. Very little is known of the IS-2's development or operational history. Of conventional configuration with high-set cantilever wings and cruciform tail-unit, the IS-2 was also flown with an increased span wing.
