Utva 213 Vihor was a late 1940s Yugoslavian two-seat advanced trainer.[1]

Design and development

[edit]

Designed and built by the Yugoslav state factory, the Type 213 was first flown in 1949, a cantilever low-wing monoplane powered by a 520 hp (388 kW) Ranger SVG-770-CB1 engine.[1] The prototype had a conventional landing gear which retracted forward, the second prototype and production aircraft had a wider track main gear that retracted inwards.[1] It had an enclosed cockpit for the instructor and student in tandem under a long glazed canopy.[1] For training the Vihor had two forward-facing machine guns and could carry up to 100 kg of bombs.[1] In 1957 an improved radial engined variant entered service as the Type 522.[1]
