Description	English: A Franklin PS-2 glider at NACA's Langley Aeronautical Laboratory at Hampton, Virginia (USA), in 1938. This Franklin PS-2 training glider is about to be towed aloft by the specially modified car in front. NACA researchers used the PS-2 in a study of ground effect on a towed glider. Langley flew two of the Franklin gliders in the late 1930s, but the U.S. Navy never really found a good use for training gliders.
