Success with amphibian W-1, built apartment, VB inspired the designer. Şavrova. state tests, held in Moscow, confirmed the promise amphibious design. The decision was made plane W-1 pass Osoaviahima Leningrad organization for educational and very popular in those years agitpoletov, and on its basis to develop an enlarged version of the machine with a domestic engine M-11. All conditions have been created for the successful implementation of this task. An enlarged version of amphibians, were designated as W-2, was built is no longer in the apartment, and at an aircraft factory "Red Pilot" in Leningrad.

The layout of the W-1 showed his best side, and there was no reason to change the scheme. Structure III-2, as its first embodiment, wood. Plane on polutoraplan design with a triple cabin and with the rising of the cockpit manual cable-operated gear. In winter conditions instead of wheels can be fitted skis. The frame of the boat - pine and ash - trimmed with different thickness of plywood (On the line - 6 mm). Outside, the whole boat, lower wings and floats canvas papered on dope, that provided protection against water. Located near the waterline cantilever lower wing, is integral with floats stability, It represents a single waterproof structure. In an accident they are properly maintained airplane afloat.

The upper two-spar wing of the plane W-2 Bracing, it can be folded back to save space in a hangar or on the deck of a ship. In the cockpit, the front can accommodate two people, and behind another, and that the two. M-11 engine power in 100 HP. It was located on the upper wing. Pulling screw cool the engine even when driving at low speeds. Besides, it shifts the center of gravity of the empty aircraft forward of the wing leading edge.
The first flight was carried out over the land 11 November 1930 g. pilot BV. Glagolev. Everything was completed successfully, and dovodok not required. We decided to test the plane in the water. weather worsened, strong wind, light snow, and most importantly - a big wave - not conducive to flight. But the builders of aircraft, sought rather to pass a car on state tests, We did not wait for better weather. 14 November Glagolev pilot with Shavrov gone in flight. On landing on impact with the waves pulled redan, made at the insistence of NTC Air attachable bolt. Nose and central part of the boat filled water, Amphibian but remained afloat. It held on the surface of the lower wings with their floats stability. confirmed the incident, one side, effectiveness of the lower wing of the aircraft structure, and on the other - the irrationality removable Redan. During serial production Redan performed non-removable.
