The Ikarus Orkan was a twin-engine light bomb or attack aircraft produced by the Yugoslav aircraft manufacturer Ikarus near Zemun .
In 1940 a prototype was built; the Second World War , which also hit Yugoslavia in 1941, prevented further development of the aircraft.
The Ikarus Orkan was powered by two 14-cylinder double radial engines Fiat A.74 RC.38 with 840 hp each, was designed in a mixed construction and reached a top speed of about 550 km / h at an altitude of 4000 meters.
