The ACAZ C.2 was a prototype Belgian biplane fighter aircraft built in the 1920s.
Built entirely of Duralumin metal, it was an advanced design at the time of its first flight in 1926, although evaluated by the Belgian Air Force, no orders were placed.
It was of a conventional biplane construction, the C.2, registered as O-BAFX, later OO-AFX, incorporated one unique feature: all four of its wings were identical and interchangeable.
The aircraft also included space for cameras, allowing it to be used for photoreconnaissance.
The sole prototype was written off in a crash on 25th of January 1933.
