History
It used a 200 hp Hispano-Suiza 8Ba engine and first flew in June 1916. Test flights were successful and led to orders for the improved Tellier T.3.
Variants
It was developed into the Tellier T.3. Only one T.2 was built.
Where you'll see it
The T.2 was destroyed in 1916 after an engine failed in flight because of carburettor failure.
