Design and development

Edward Margański, Jerzy Cisowski and Jerzy Makula developed the Swift at Bielsko-Biała from the SZD-21-2b Kobuz 3. The prototype first flew in 1991.
The glider is made of glass-fibre epoxy composite. It is very strong and manoeuvrable. Larger tips to increase the span to 15m were designed but not made. It has a retractable undercarriage.
