Design and development
The IS-2 was designed as an intermediate training glider. Construction was largely of wood with fabric and plywood skinning, similar o the Grunau Baby pre-war German glider. Very little is known of the IS-2s 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.
