Glider at Barajas airport - Madrid, Spain - Static Aircraft Displays on Waymarking.com

This glider is mounted to the ceiling at terminal 3, Barajas Airport. The name of the glider is "pirate". On the tail is written:"SZD-30 and WZK". I wasn't able to find out any history about this glider.


The SZD-30 is of wooden construction. The high-mounted wing incorporates air brakes on both upper and lower surfaces. The inner section of the wing is constant-chord and the outer section is tapered.

The forward section of the otherwise all-wood fuselage is made of fiberglass. The single-wheel main landing gear is fixed. The formed one-piece canopy is side-mounted. The fuselage can be equipped with radios and oxygen system. There are two baggage compartments. Water ballast is not available.
