Rogožarski projects

[bigvlada]

I know that there are some confusions about who built and who designed what. For instance, Ik1 and IK2 were designed and built in Ikarus but Ik3 was built in Rogožarski plant. Out of five Yugoslav aircraft plants, four were in close proximity to each other, built in and around Belgrade: Ikarus, Rogožarski, Zmaj and Utva. The fifth one was DFA (Državna Fabrika Aviona - State Aircraft Factory) which was located in Kraljevo. The production series were small compared to larger countries and factories shared orders (for instance Ikarus and Zmaj shared the order for the production of Hurricane MK1).


Here's the list of Rogožarski's projects (Fizir models were designed by Croatian designer Rudi Fizir)
Fizir-Maybach - school (32 units, built from 1927 until 1929.)
Fizir Loren - school (one prototype,1928.)

Fizir f1g-Titan - school (one prototype 1931)
SIM-VIII - sports travel airplane (3 planes, 1931)
Rogožarski AŽR - school transition aircraft (one prototype, 1934)
Rogožarski PVT - (abbreviation for Interim Aviation Technical) school-fighter aircraft (61 copies, 1935 -1941)
Fizir FN - school (40 copies, 1935.)
Rogožarski SIM-VI - sports and tourism (2 prototypes, 1936 and 1937)
Rogožarski PVT-H - interim school seaplane (1 converted PVT craft and 3 units built, 1937)

Rogožarski SEA-JEEP - modified SIM-X plane for a school night flying (1 converted SIM-X 1941)
Rogožarski IK-3 - single-seater fighter (1 prototype 1937)
Rogožarski IK-3 - single-seater fighter (12 copies - serial production in 1940)

Thanks for these very informative listings! Such topics belong in the Designation Systems sub-forum, so I chose to move them.

You forgot;


SIM-IX : single seat trainer monoplane powered by 160 hp Bramo Sh 149 engine.

I wanted to list all the projects in the first post because of the naming confusion and then work my way down the list, but if you think this is the right sub forum, I'm okay with that.
The Fizir F1V (Физир Ф1В - fizir prvi vojni - first military fizir) was a the basis from which engineer Rudolf Fizir developed a series of single-engined, two-seat, reconnaissance biplanes fitted with different engines. Construction was carried out in the Yugoslav aircraft factories "Zmaj" and "Rogožarski" between 1928 and 1932.


Zmaj built 15 of the Fizir F1V-Wright version and 5 Jupiter-engined Fizir F1M floatplanes for Naval Aviation in 1930. Zmaj was also responsible for conversion of several Fizir-Maybach trainers to Lorraine-Dietrich engines in 1932, which extended the service life of these machines under the new name Fizir-Lorraine 400 hp.

Fizir F1 - Prototype with Maybach MbIVa 260 hp engine, built in 1925
Fizir F1V-Maybach - Maybach MbIVa 260 hp engine (32 units built in ​​1928),
Fizir F1V-Loren - Lorraine-Dietrich 12Eb 450 hp engine,one prototype, conversion of Fizir F1V-Maybach in 1928 + 15 conversions of F1V-Maybach using Lorraine-Dietrich 12dB 400KS engine in 1933
Fizir F1V-Hispano - Hispano-Suiza 12Ga, 450 hp engine, one prototype, conversion of F1V-Maybach in 1928)
Fizir F1V-Wright - Wright Whirlwind J-5 220, 220 hp engine, (1 prototype + 15 copies in 1930)
Fizir F1M-Jupiter - Navy seaplane (also known as "Big Fizir") with Jupiter IAM 9AD 420,420 hp engine (5 planes built in 1930)
Fizir f1g-Castor - Walter Castor 240, 240 hp engine, (one prototype built in 1931)
Fizir f1g-Titan - Walter Titan 230, 230 HP engine, (one prototype built in 1931)

There is very little info on Fizir Fa-1 amphibian in Yugoslav aircraft history books although several were made and used along the Adriatic coast. The only photo I could find is from wikipedia article about Rudolf Fizir. It was a two seat configuration.

From Krila 6/1982,

an Info about SIM-VII ?.

 

[Aubi]

It sesms that some of the SIM-VIII were sometimes called SIM-VII, there were differences between them, but noone really knows which were which. Probably it started during the concept works where some early draft was named SIM-VII and altough the finished machine was called SIM-VIII, the older name also stuck.

 

[hesham]

That's designation is completely a mystery,no sense at all in its arrangements,SIM-VIII was
appeared in 1931 and SIM-VI in 1936/37 ,so I tried to figure out how it would been,

SIM-I was a two-seat unequal-span biplane,intended for recce,powered by one 200 hp
Walter Castor radial engine,1930
SIM-II was a two-seat trainer monoplane,powered by one 100 hp Siemens radial engine,1930
SIM-III ? may it was AŽR ,a school transition aircraft (one prototype, 1934)
SIM-IV ? may it was PVT, (abbreviation for Interim Aviation Technical) school-fighter aircraft ,1935
SIM-V ? may it was PVT-H,interim school seaplane (1 converted PVT craft and 3 units built, 1937)
SIM-VI sports and tourism (2 prototypes, 1936 and 1937)
SIM-VII ? may it was IK-3 - single-seater fighter (1 prototype 1937)
SIM-VII ? may another allocated to aircraft project,finished as SIM-VIII
SIM-VIII sports travel airplane (3 planes, 1931)
SIM-IX single seat trainer monoplane powered by 160 hp Bramo Sh 149 engine
SIM-X a school single-engine two-seater plane for the initial training (21 units, 1937)
SIM-XI acrobatic plane, single seater designed for the training of fighter pilots (1 prototype 1938)
SIM-XII-H school seaplane (4 prototypes, 4 copies in 1938 and 4 copies in 1940)
SIM-XIII ? may it was an aircraft project,led to develop R-313
SIM-XIV-H coastal scout (one prototype in 1938 and 6 copies in 1939)
SIM XIVB-H - bomber seaplane (12 copies in 1940)
SIM-XV R-313, multi-purpose fighter-destroyer (1 prototype,1940)
SIM-XVI ? may it was Brucoš (Freshman) - school aircraft (1 prototype, 1940)
SIM-XVII ? may it was a development shape of IK-3 - single-seater fighter (12 copies - serial production in 1940)
