## Design and development

Designed and built by the Yugoslav state factory, the Type 213 was first flown in 1949, a cantilever low-wing monoplane powered by a 520 hp (388 kW) [Ranger SVG-770-CB1](/source/Ranger_SVG-770-CB1) engine.[1] The prototype had a [conventional landing gear](/source/Conventional_landing_gear) which retracted forward, the second prototype and production aircraft had a wider track main gear that retracted inwards.[1] It had an enclosed cockpit for the instructor and student in tandem under a long glazed canopy.[1] For training the Vihor had two forward-facing machine guns and could carry up to 100 kg of bombs.[1] In 1957 an improved [radial engined](/source/Radial_engine) variant entered service as the [Type 522](/source/Soko_522).[1]
