SZD-7 Osa
Development
The SZD-7 or IS-7 Osa (Wasp) was based on the IS-2 Mucha, with a laminar flow aerofoil section developed by Tadeusz Kostia. Little information on laminar flow aerofoils was available but Kostia was able to design the aerofoil for the SZD-7 Osa to achieve laminar flow to at least

Zero-lift axis
A cambered aerofoil generates no lift when it is moving parallel to an axis called the zero-lift axis (or the zero-lift line.) When symmetric aerofoils are moving parallel to the chord line of the aerofoil, zero lift is generated.
