The winning design was submitted by [[Boris Cijan]] and [[Djordje T. Petković]] and the prototype was built by [[Ikarbus|Ikarus]] as the '''Ikarus 251'''. Series production took place at [[Utva]] as the '''C-3'''. It was a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage. The pilot and instructor sat side by side under an expansive canopy. The type remained in production until the mid-1950s with later examples powered by the more powerful [[Walter Mikron]] 4.
