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 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.
