Jaskółka-class Minesweeper
The Jaskółka class was a class of six minesweepers of the Polish Navy built during the 1930s. They were the first sea-going warships of Polish production. The Jaskółka class was a versatile design which allowed the ships to serve in the role of either a minesweeper, small minelayer or a sub chaser. All were named after birds, therefore the class was nicknamed: ''ptaszki'' ( en, birdies). Design and building The first minesweepers in the Polish Navy were the German minesweepers of the FM type. These ships, built during the later part of World War I and bought by Poland during the early 20s, were already worn out by the 1930s so the Polish Navy required a replacement. The Modlin shipyard offered a design for the new class of minesweepers which was accepted. The first four ships of the class were built at Gdynia and Modlin. After they entered service they proved to be a good design so a further two were ordered in the mid 30s. Service World War II Post war Ships Refe ...

SZD-8 Jaskółka
The SZD-8 Jaskółka was a single-seat glider aircraft that was designed and built in Poland at ''Szybowcowy Zakład Doświadczalny'' (Glider Experimental Works) in Bielsko-Biała from 1951. Development With prototypes rolled out in September and December 1951, the SZD-8 Jaskółka (''Swallow'') was a high-performance glider for its day, introducing several innovations to glider design such as a sliding moulded Plexiglas canopy, recessed handle in the rear fuselage for ground handling and a semi-retractable mainwheel. The all-wood wings were covered with plywood and fabric incorporating Fowler flaps A flap is a high-lift device used to reduce the stalling speed of an aircraft wing at a given weight. Flaps are usually mounted on the wing trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft. Flaps are used to reduce the take-off distance and the landing ... on the trailing edges, which could be lowered to 12° or 25°, and Schemp-Hirth style airbrakes aft of the mainspars. Main desi ...

This was an experimental prototype, and only one unit was constructed. Development The SZD-14X Jaskółka M was developed from the SZD-8bis Jaskółka (''Swallow'') for research into the construction, control and characteristics of 'V' or butterfly tail surfaces.Simons, Martin. Sailplanes 1945-1965 2nd revised ed. EQIP Werbung und Verlag G.m.b.H.. Königswinter. 2006. Using the airframe of the second prototype SZD-8 a 'V' tail was added to the rear fuselage, with arrangements for the balance of the surfaces and the angle between them to be adjusted as required. The designer was Tadeusz Kostia, the constructor was Władysław Okarmus.Babiejczuk, Grzegorzewski.
