The Pitts S-2 Special revolutionized aerobatic aviation as the first factory-built unlimited aerobatic biplane to receive FAA type certification in nearly 35 years. First flown in 1966, it was a two-seat tandem biplane powered by a 200-horsepower Lycoming AEIO-360 engine, capable of sustained inverted flight and extreme aerobatic maneuvers. With a wingspan of 20 feet and exceptional roll rates exceeding 400 degrees per second, it dominated world aerobatic competition throughout the 1970s. The aircraft was manufactured by Aerotek in Afton, Wyoming, beginning factory production in 1971. AviatorDB tracks 110 Pitts aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is PTS2.
