The LWD Żuraw was a Polish utility and liaison aircraft prototype of 1951, a high-wing monoplane with single engine, that did not enter production.

Because of a shortage of more powerful engines, it was fitted with the only available license-built Soviet radial Shvetsov M-11FR (118 kW, 160 hp).

In addition to increased airframe weight (it was 160 kg heavier, than expected), the engine appeared too weak.

Despite advantages, like short takeoff and landing and low stall speed, the performance was poor and the plane was not ordered for production.

It was considered to use more powerful WN-3 or Ivchenko AI-14 engines, but the design was abandoned, because Poland had bought a license to produce the Yakovlev Yak-12M.
