The aircraft design office of the LIBIS aircraft (Letalski Inštitut Branko Ivanuš Slovenija) brought together teachers and students of the Ljubljana technical high school. The KB-11 Branko was a development of the earlier two-seat KB-6 Matajur. First flown in December 1959 the KB-11 was an all-metal cantilever low-wing monoplane with retractable tricycle landing gear and an enclosed heated and ventilated cockpit for four persons. It was intended for use as an air-taxi or for business use but only small numbers were built.
