History and construction
The Soko 522 was a low -wing monoplane of all-metal construction with a retractable spur wheel chassis. It was designed by the Yugoslav engineers Sostaric, Marjanovic and Curcic at Icarus to the Utva to replace 213 Vihor. The aircraft had a two-seater cabin and cockpit closed seats arranged one behind the other. It was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R -1340 - AN-1 radial engine.
