The Grunau Baby glider was designed and built in 1931 by Edmund Schneider in Grunau (today's Jeżów Sudecki). It was a very simple wooden structure also built by amateur aviators using a cottage industry method. The glider was multipurpose, used for learning to fly, training, competitive flying and performing basic aerobatic figures. More than 5,000 copies were built, and to this day you can admire this magnificent construction in our skies. Every 2 years, rallies of these amazing gliders, legends of aviation, are organized in Jeżów Sudecki.
