Design and development

UTVA 75 75 M53

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 1979 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.
