The IS-C Żuraw is a Polish two-seat performance and training glider, developed in the early 1950s at the Gliding Institute in Bielsko-Biała. It was a modernized version of the German DFS Kranich II glider, the documentation for which was discovered in 1945 at the NSFK workshop in Łódź. A total of 51 gliders were built between 1952 and 1953, and the one with serial number SP-1213 was donated to the museum in 1964. Currently, after a thorough renovation, it is displayed in the newly opened Hangar No. 5, dedicated to civil aviation.
