Although these designs were created in completely different eras, both perfectly illustrate how the art of glider design has evolved over the years.

The Wrona-bis is a true legend and a symbol of the pioneering days of Polish gliding. Its simple, wooden construction recalls the beginnings of glider training and the passion of the first Polish glider pilots.

The PW-2 Gapa, on the other hand, is an interesting design developed at the Warsaw University of Technology, distinguished by its unusual silhouette and standing as testament to the search for new solutions in modern gliding.
