has gloss | eng: | |} The SZD-22 Mucha Standard (Szybowcowym Zakladzie Doświadczalnym - gliding experimental department) was a single-seat aerobatic glider designed and built in Poland from 1957. Development Developed especially for the 1958 World Gliding Championships the SZD-22 Mucha Standard was a direct descendent of the IS-2 Mucha (Fly), from 1948, and SZD-12 Mucha, from 1953, with very similar lines and dimensions. The Mucha Standard was designed to the new Standard class rules which discarded the old Olympic 15-15-15 Span, Aspect Ratio, Area rule . The first flight of the SZD-22 took place at Bilesko with Adam Witek at the controls on 10 February 1958. Flight trials were successful leading to a long production run with six variants which introduced various modifications. Built primarily of wood the SZD-22 had airbrakes in the wings, a streamline.ckpit canopy, short nose and tail skids with a single mainwheel. |
