The Ikarus Orkan (Serbian Cyrillic: Икарус Оркан) was a three-seat twin-engine monoplane designed as a light bomber/reconnaissance aircraft in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia before World War II.
The aircraft was high winged with very clean aerodynamic fuselage and full metal construction.
From Orkana, the expected performance was 500 km/h, a rate of climb 4,000 m (13,000 ft) in 4.5 minutes, a radius of action of 1,000 to 1,200 km, and an 800 kg payload of bombs.
French manufacturer Messier produced the complete hydraulics equipment and landing gear according to Yugoslavian specifications.
The system powered the landing gear, cooling gills, bomb bay door, gunner sliding hood, tail wheel, and flaps.
France banned the export of war materiels, so, in consultation with the YRAF command, the Hispano Suiza 14AB engine was replaced by a 627 kW Fiat A.74 RC 38.
When landing, it was damaged, and due to the war in Europe, its repair took longer, and it could not restart testing until March 1941.
