The Loening PW-2 was a 1920s American single-seat fighter monoplane designed by Grover Loening and built by his Loening Aeronautical Engineering Company. DevelopmentBased on the earlier two-seat braced-wing monoplane fighter, the M-8, the PW-2 was a single-seat variant for the United States Army Air Corps. It had a fixed tailskid landing gear and was powered by a nose-mounted Wright-Hispano H engine with a tractor propeller. The pilot had an open cockpit. The company built three prototypes designated the PW-2 and a production order for 10 aircraft designated the PW-2A followed. The PW-2As were similar to the PW-2 but had a revised tail unit. After four aircraft had been delivered, one aircraft crashed when the wings separated from the aircraft; the contract was canceled. One of the PW-2As was modified with shorter-span wings and a {{convert|350|hp|kW|lk=on|abbr=on}} Packard 1A-1237 engine as the PW-2B. Variants
