UTVA 75


The UTVA 75 is a compact, low-wing monoplane, piston-engine aircraft manufactured by UTVA. It was mainly used as a military basic trainer and sporting aircraft.

Design and development

Designed in 1975 to replace the UTVA Aero 3 as the primary basic trainer in the Yugoslav Air Force. It features upward opening gull-wingtype access doors to the two-seat side-by-side cockpit. Another characteristic is a row of air scoops, presumably for cockpit ventilation, in the central front frame of the cockpit. The Utva 75 made its maiden flight in 1976. Between 1978 and 1985, a total of 136 Utva 75s were produced for the former Yugoslav Air Force. Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, many were passed on to successor states.
