First flying in 1959, it was built by [UTVA](/source/UTVA) for both the Yugoslavian armed forces and for civilian use. ==Development and design== In 1959 the Yugoslav aircraft company [UTVA](/source/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. Testing was successful,"[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. but the aircraft was redesigned for production, with a more powerful [Lycoming O-480](/source/Lycoming_O-480) engine, and designated the UTVA-60. The UTVA-60 is an all-metal, four-place, strut-braced high-wing [monoplane](/source/monoplane). It is fitted with a fixed [conventional undercarriage](/source/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, while the agricultural version's wing was fitted with [slots](/source/Leading_edge_slot). The UTVA-60 was used as the basis for the [UTVA-65](/source/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](/source/UTVA-66), a further improved version.Donald 1997, p.887. ==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,Hayles, John.
