It was built to a Romanian government specification calling for an aircraft capable of agricultural and ambulance work or of towing gliders.
It had a high cantilever wing with constant chord inboard and slight taper beyond with almost square tips.
The tail surfaces were constant chord and straight tipped, though the fin and rudder were slightly swept.
The cabin stretched from forward of the wing to well behind it with almost continuous glazing on both sides and could accommodate up to six people including the pilot.
[1] The aircraft was later developed into the ICA IS-24, chiefly by replacing the radial engine with a flat 6-cylinder Lycoming, reducing the cabin glazing and lowering and widening the undercarriage.
