The SZD-54-2 PERKOZ two-seater glider has two different wing spans and wing ends, making it versatile beyond aerobatics. The aerobatic glider has a wingspan of 17.5 meters and flat wing ends. The glider can be extended with winglets in the 17.5 meter version for training and cross-country flights. The 20 meter wingspan extension with winglets significantly improves the cross-country performance with a glide ratio of 42.
Feel free to contact us any time – we will gladly offer personal advice about the diverse applications of the PERKOZ in sailplane aerobatics, cross-country gliding and glider training.
