Utva 213 Vihor was a late 1940s Yugoslavian two-seat advanced trainer. [1]
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]
One aircraft is on display at the Museum of Yugoslav Aviation, Belgrade, Serbia.
