The Utva 75 is a compact, piston engined aircraft manufactured by Lola Utva. It is mainly used as a military training aircraft for air force pilots that are not able to fly jet aircraft yet. It is a fairly popular aircraft among a few Balkan air forces.

History

The Utva 75, originally called the V-53 in the Yugoslav Air Force, was designed to replace the older and slower Utva 66. Its goal was a success: over a hundred units were built and served the Former Yugoslav Air Force for decades. After the war in former Yugoslavia, only the Croatian and new Serbian air forces used the Utva 75. The last Lola Utva 75s ever produced so far were two that were produced in Lola Utva's Pancevo factory in Serbia in 2003. They were exported to the United States.

Variants

* Utva 75 : Two-seat training aircraft.
* Utva 75A : Four-seat light aircraft.
