Utva (English wild duck) is an aircraft factory (Serbian fabrika aviona) located in Pančevo, near Belgrade, Serbia (ex-Yugoslavia), first founded 1937 in Zemun, known of its light sporting and training aircraft. The whole number of produced aircraft is over 900. Previously, the company was named "Utva", but in 1996 factory immersed with a Lola factory from Železnik. In 2005 company ownership was re-examined and the company changed its name to Utva Aircraft Industry and it is known today.

During the NATO air strikes against Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999 the factory was severely damaged.

[edit] Current projects

[edit] Utva G-4M Super Galeb

The G-4M Super Galeb is currently in testing phase at the Batajnica Air Force base in the Serbian Air Force. It is essentially a newer, heavily armed, advanced version of the G-4 Super Galeb. If all goes well, the G-4M might go in to production with the help of a foreign company in the near future, therefore bringing the whole legacy of the G-4 Super Galeb back into the present-day fighter jet market. The G-4M was at first, partially designed by Lola Utva.

[edit] Lasta 95

New primary training plane. Serbian Air Force ordered 16 planes, Iraq ordered 20 planes so far. First flight: 5 February 2009.

[edit] Utva 96

Currently, Utva is trying to replace the Utva 75, which is becoming an excessively aged model. The Utva 96 will be the 75's successor. Currently the 96 is being developed as a prototype.
