The RWD-8 was the most widely produced pre-war aircraft of Polish design. A total of approximately 650 units were built.
It was used in flying clubs, L.O.P.P. schools, civilian pilot schools, and military schools. It was also the basic liaison aircraft of the Polish Army. The role of this plane is determined by the fact that every military pilot trained on it, and the machine itself broke a production record, broken only in 1980 by the Wilga plane. Then it remained the last plane over the Polish sky when the Polish air force was destroyed or evacuated.
Despite the production of over half a thousand units of the RWD-8, no copy of this beautiful aircraft has survived to this day, nor has any documentation of its construction survived.
The 3D model shown in the video was created based on the documentation of the aircraft replica made by engineer Jerzy Mularczyk.
