Following the technical success of the T.37 Skylark, the concept was expanded with the introduction of the T.41 Skylark 2. The use of laminar-flow sections was continued but the section at the tips was changed to NACA4415 to reduce the tendency to tip-stall. The
Skylark 2 was very similar in shape to
169:
its predecessor but had a smooth-skinned rounded fuselage and a wing of greater span and area. Composite materials were introduced in the
Skylark 2, with the nose cone, wingtips and various small fairings made from polyester resin
189:. Results of the tests showed that the Skylark 2 was a safe aircraft with a reasonable performance. Orders were received from individuals, clubs and syndicates, but the Skylark 2 was soon outclassed in international competitions.
173:. The thickness of the aerofoils was increased to ensure that drag was reduced over a wider speed range allowing the Skylark 2 to climb faster in thermals at low speed and race between thermals at high speed.
