high-winged with very clean aerodynamic fuselage and of full metal construction. The wing had a NACA 23012 airfoil with root thickness of 12% and the top sash thickness of 6%. The
Yugoslav Air Force command was interested in the aircraft for the competition for the new Yugoslav twin engine medium bomber.

The Orkan was created as a private project by two young designers S. Momcilovic and D. Radojkovic. They tried to create a light two-engine bomber. By the end of 1937 most of the prototype documentation was complete. A wooden model was tested in early 1938 in the wind tunnel in Paris. The aircraft was

The prototype was completed in April 1940, and the first flight was planned to be in the same month. However, due to the additional trimming, the maiden flight was made at Zemun airport on 24 June 1940. When landing, it was damaged and, due to the war in Europe, its repair took longer and it was not

Yugoslavian specification, the complete hydraulics equipment and landing gear. The system powered the landing gear, cooling gills, bomb bay door, and gunner sliding hood, tail wheel and flaps. Landing gear retracted into the nacelles behind the engines. The wheels were fitted with

for defence. It was also envisaged that the aircraft would have three 7.92 mm machine guns (two front and one on the back). From Orkana the expected performance was 500 km/h, rate of climb 4,000 m (13,000 ft) in 4.5 minutes, the radius of action of 1,000 to 1,200 km, and

Electric equipment was the most recent available and was from the domestic manufacturers, Mikron and
