The '''UTVA-60''' is a [[Yugoslavia]]n light aircraft of the 1960s. First flying in 1959, it was built by [[UTVA]] for both the Yugoslavian armed forces and for civilian use.
==Development and design==
In 1959 the Yugoslav aircraft company [[UTVA]] designed and built a single-engined, high-winged light utility aircraft, the UTVA 56, with a prototype making the first flight on 22 April 1959.<ref name="Janes 65 p344"/> Testing was successful,<ref>"[http://www.pilotfriend.com/aircraft%20performance/utva.htm UTVA 56 / 60 Aircraft history performance and specifications]". ''[http://www.pilotfriend.com/ Pilotfriend]''. Retrieved 21 December 2009.</ref> but the aircraft was redesigned for production, with a more powerful [[Lycoming O-480]] engine, and designated the UTVA-60.<ref name="Janes 65 p344"/>
The UTVA-60 is an all-metal, four-place, strut-braced high-wing [[monoplane]]. It is fitted with a fixed [[conventional undercarriage]] which uses cantilevered steel tube struts. Trailing-edge wing flaps are linked to the ailerons, drooping the ailerons when the flaps are lowered to reduce landing speed,<ref name="Flight sport"/> while the agricultural version's wing was fitted with [[Leading edge slot|slots]].<ref name="Janes 65 p344"/>
The UTVA-60 was used as the basis for the [[UTVA-65]], a specialised agricultural aircraft, which used the wings, undercarriage and tail of the UTVA-60, but with a low-mounted wing. The UTVA-60 was replaced in production by the [[UTVA-66]], a further improved version.<ref name="Donald p887">Donald 1997, p.887.</ref>
==Operational history==
As well as civil use, the UTVA-60 was used by the Yugoslav Air Force, who received about 35, using them until 1982,<ref>Hayles, John.
