Designed by J.W. Miller, the JM-2 took a different approach to Formula I airplane racing. Both the engine and main wings are set aft of the pilot's enclosed cockpit. A Continental drove a pusher prop; the spinner took the place of the tailcone. Two sections of the vertical propeller shroud act as the vertical stabilizer, and the elevators are placed in T-tail fashion. The wings are covered with honeycomb material reinforced by fiberglass and resin. The fuselage is constructed from four fiberglass panels.
