The Ikarus 231 was a courier aircraft built in Yugoslavia by Ikarus Aircraft during the late 1940s.
The Ikarus 231 was a two-seat, low-wing monoplane of cantilever construction. It was similar to the Ikarus 211 trainer but had an enclosed cabin intended for courier service. The prototype flew in 1948 and was eventually handed over to the Yugoslav Air Force, which it served until 1958. The second prototype, which also flew in 1948, served until 1952, after which it was scrapped. [1] [2] [3] [4]

The Ikarus S-49 was a Yugoslav single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft built for the Yugoslav Air Force shortly after World War II. Following the Tito–Stalin Split in 1948, the RV i PVO was left with an aircraft inventory consisting of mostly Soviet aircraft. Unable to acquire new aircraft or spare parts for its existing fleet, the RV i PVO turned to its domestic aviation industry in order to create an indigenous design to fulfill the need for additional aircraft.
The Ikarus ŠM, ŠM was the first design of Eng. Josip Mikl for the Yugoslav company Ikarus, it was a side-by-side two-seat biplane flying boat powered by a 100 hp (75 kW) Mercedes engine. The aircraft used for training by the Yugoslav Royal Navy.
The Utva C-3 Trojka (Trey) was a light aircraft built in Yugoslavia shortly after World War II as a result of a government competition to develop a new, domestically built aircraft with which to equip the country's flying clubs. The winning design was submitted by Boris Cijan and Djordje T. Petković and the prototype was built by Ikarus as the Ikarus 251. Series production took place at Utva as the C-3. It was a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage. The pilot and instructor sat side by side under an expansive canopy. The type remained in production until the mid-1950s with later examples powered by the more powerful Walter Mikron 4.

The Ikarus IO was a biplane flying boat produced in Yugoslavia in the late 1920s.
