MIP Smyk
The MIP Smyk, MIP from the initials of its Polish designers with Smyk meaning Brat or Kid, was an aerodynamically refined motor glider designed and built at Warsaw Technical University from 1935. Design and development The Smyk was designed by three students of the Warsaw Technical University, Ludwig Moczarski, Jan Idźkowski and Jerzy Ploszajski, as a diploma project. Their objective was a low-power motor glider with the lowest possible drag. The result was a wooden, shoulder wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable undercarriage, powered by a Scott Flying Squirrel AS-2 inverted, air-cooled, twin-cylinder, two-stroke engine. Its one piece, tapered wing, which had an aspect ratio of 7.7, contained a plywood covered torsion box from the main spar around the leading edge. Behind the torsion box the wing was fabric covered. An auxiliary rear spar carried long span, tapered ailerons. The wing's deepened, wholly ply-covered centre-section blended wing roots into the upper ...

Smyk (car)
The Smyk was a Polish microcar prototype designed in 1957. Its unique characteristic was that the door was located in the front of the car. Concept The assumptions were to create the cheapest possible microcar accommodating four people in the 2+2 system, i.e. two adults and two children. Access to the rear seat was possible only after folding the front passenger seat. The door was a tilting (downwards) front cover, so that the sides of the body could carry loads, and the shape of the body itself did not require deeper extrusion. The car did not have a trunk, and on the dashboard there was only a speedometer, a battery charging indicator and a turn signal switch with a indicator light. As a drive for prototype vehicles served the engine from the Junak M07 motorcycle with a dynamostarter and a blower installed. Independent suspension was used for all four twelve-inch wheels: transversely arranged torsion bars. The wheels were assembled from two parts, of which the inner, light met ...

PW-5
The Politechnika Warszawska PW-5 ''Smyk'' (Polish language, Polish: "Little rascal") is a single seater sailplane designed at the Warsaw University of Technology (Polish: "Politechnika Warszawska") and manufactured in Poland. It is a monotype FAI World Class, World Class glider. Development The PW-5 was designed for, and won a competition held by the International Gliding Commission for a simple, low cost sailplane that would form the basis for a new competition class, the IGC World Class. Unlike other soaring competition classes, the World Class designation would guarantee that all pilots participated on an equal footing, and that pilots could not gain advantage by spending large amounts of money. The PW-5 was unanimously chosen from 42 design proposals in IGC international World Class design competition. In November 1989, the IGC issued a worldwide call for proposals. By February 1990, it had received 84 requests for design specifications from 25 countries. By August 1990, the IG ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Władysław Ossowski
Władysław Ossowski (5 November 1925 – 5 August 2000) was a Polish boyscout and member of the White Couriers. Biography Ossowski was born on 5 November 1925 in the village of Iwaszkowce. Using pseudonyms ''Maly Wladzio'', ''Smyk'', and ''Pitolcio'' Ossowski, as a 14-year-old boy, began leading Polish escapees from Soviet-occupied Eastern Poland. Between late 1939 and mid-1940, Ossowski, together with a group of Polish scouts mostly from Lwów, led scores of people across Soviet-Hungarian border (see: Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact) in the Eastern Carpathians. He would lead to Budapest those Poles who wanted to escape Soviet occupation. From Hungary, he would bring newspapers and directives of General Władysław Sikorski. Ossowski, who was born and raised in the borderland area (before the war, there had been the Polish–Czechoslovak border), used his knowledge and skills. On 8 May 1940 Ossowski was arrested in a house in the village of Komarniki, on the way to Hungary. At first, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
