The Vultee V-2 was a light bomber aircraft developed by the Vultee Aircraft Company in the 1930s. Designed primarily for the United States Army Air Corps, it featured a low-wing monoplane design and was powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp engines. The V-2 was notable for its speed and maneuverability, making it suitable for various military missions. Although the Vultee V-2 was innovative, it faced competition from other aircraft, and only a limited number were produced. Its design influenced later bombers, contributing to the evolution of military aviation during the pre-World War II era, including the development of the B-17 Flying Fortress.
