The General Aviation Design Bureau of Ukraine is an aircraft manufacturer located in Kyiv, Ukraine. This firm focuses primarily on aerospace subcontracting, frequently collaborating with manufacturers from Europe and North America.
Initially operating as a subcontractor, the company developed and produced ultralight trikes, including designs such as the General Aviation Design Bureau T-2 Maverick, aimed at the western market for training aircraft. Subsequently, they began manufacturing this model under their own brand. The T-2 features a distinctive side-by-side configuration seating arrangement, making it particularly suitable for pilot training purposes.
An original creation of the bureau is the General Aviation Design Bureau T-32 Maverick, which stands out as a rare three-seat ultralight trike, incorporating a dual rear seat designed to accommodate two passengers.
In 2003, the bureau achieved certification for an agricultural variant of the T-2M motorized hang glider, named the T-2MSH.
Following the establishment of the state enterprise Ukroboronprom in December 2010, the AZP Design Bureau became part of its organizational structure.
During January 2015, officials from Ukraine's Ministry of Defense were introduced to several advancements within the national defense sector intended for the Armed Forces. Among these was the T-2M reconnaissance motorized hang glider developed by the AZP Design Bureau.
