SZD-50 Puchacz is a Polish, two-seater, training and sports glider with a laminate structure (glass-epoxy laminate) in the high wing structure, with wings with a negative slant. The glider was developed at Szybowcowe Zak³ady Do¶wiadczalnych (SZD) based in Bielsko-Bia³a. The prototype flight took place in 1976. Three years later, serial production started and is still going on. By 2012, about 300 examples of this glider had been built. The net price for a new glider of this type was approx. EUR 59,000, according to 2012 prices.

Work on the SZD-50 Puchacz began in 1976, but the last corrections and improvements continued until 1979. The new glider was to replace the SZD-9 Bocian and SZD-10 Czapla in Polish gliding as the basic aircraft intended for training pilots. The emphasis is on the highest possible performance, but also on the simplicity of piloting, servicing and repairing. Finally, the Puchacz turned out to be a highly successful design that clearly outperformed its predecessors. One of the few disadvantages, however, was the high unit cost. Gliders of this type were exported to many countries and turned out to be a great commercial success. At the end of the 90s of the twentieth century, a version of this glider was also created, adapted to glider aerobatics, designated SZD-50-3A.
