From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ikarus 214 was a military aircraft produced in Yugoslavia in the early 1950s. Originally intended as a light reconnaissance-bomber (first prototype flight in 1949), it was produced as a trainer and transport aircraft Ikarus 214D when the flight testing of the prototype revealed it to have insufficient performance for the role. The Ikarus 214D first flew in 1951. The 214 was a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with twin tail and retractable tailwheel undercarriage. The twin engines were mounted on nacelles on the wings, and originally Ranger SVG-770s were fitted, although this was changed to the Pratt & Whitney R-1340-AN-1 in production.
