Sima Milutinovic projects

[bigvlada]

Sima Milutinovic was probably the most productive Yugoslav aircraft designer before WW2. Most of his planes were built by Roghozarski aircraft factory. I know the link is a bit long but english wikipedia has no article about this man.

single engine models

Rogozharski PVT,pvt-h, R-100 and SIM 10 single engine models

 

[bigvlada]

Because kingdom of Yugoslavia had extensive coastline, hydroplanes were an important part of Royal Yugoslav Air Force. Sima Milutinovic designed single and twin engine reconnaissance and bomber hydroplanes, the SIM 12 and SIM 14.
In second picture, the topmost plane is the prototype, the middle one is the pre-production series model and the lower one is from the first series.

last batch

 

[bigvlada]

The last one of his pre war projects was the R-313 destroyer. It was mentioned before on the board, Ićll just add some additional photos, including the ones of the model.

 

[Maveric]

Hi bigvlada,


do you know more about the SIM-I, -III, -IV, -V, -IX and SIM-XIII?


Thanks Maveric

 

[bigvlada]

There were no projects with those designations. ;D

I have somewhere a French aviation magazine issue focused on the WWII Balkan theater with nice profiles of a couple of Ikarus designs and the Rogarski SIM XIV, which I have always liked. Does anyone know if there were ever any proposals for a land plane version of ther latter, perhaps in a tactical reconnaissance, liaison or ground attack role along the lines of the FW-189 Uhu, with which the SIM XIV shares the same powerplants if I am not mistaken?

Hi, what is the wooden model in the background of the first picture? It looks like a twin enigined aircraft, but I can't recognize...

Rogozarski R-313

Hehehehe Thank you!

Hi,


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


Bucos :two seat low wing monoplane primary trainer powered by 130 hp De
Havilland Gipsy Major engine.

 

[Stargazer]

Were all Rogozharski projects designed by Milutinovic? What about the IK-3 fighter, for instance?

 

[CostasTT]

The IK-1/2 and IK-3 were designed by Ljubomir Ilić and Kosta Sivčev.

Thanks for the info!

 

[CostasTT]

You are most welcome.

This morning I already tried to send some pictures, but somethimg went wrong... Now I try again.
As you know, in 1941 Italy and Germany invaded Yugoslavia and Italy's Regia Aeronautica obtained a large war booty, including a fairly large amount of Rogozarsky aircraft, including at least two PVT-H1 Fizir.

...about that same matter, Regia Aeronautica had eight SIM-XIV-H floatplanes and at least six of them served in Scuola Idrovolanti (seaplane school) at Orbetello, in Central Hitaly.
You can find additional information on:
"Prede di Guerra", by Giancarlo Garello (La Bancarella Aeronautica, Turin, 2007, with the wonderful artwork by Marco Gueli, and
"Aerei stranieri della Regia", by myself (Delta editrice, Parma, 2010)

 

[cluttonfred]

So no one knows of any proposed landplane versioins of the SIM-XIV-H? Too bad, I have visions of nice little tactical reconnaissance three-seater or even a two-seat ground attack model.

According to William Green in War Planes of the Second World War (Floatplanes, Vol 6, pg.204), "Sima Milutinovič had also begun work on a landplane adaptation of the floatplane for use as a twin-engined pilot trainer, although this was never built". There's no other details so we're not informed as to whether this trainer was meant for the Yugoslav Navy or Air Force. Nor whether this trainer was to be As 10E engined or if it would have the As 410s of the final, unfinished batch of floatplanes.

I don't think so my dear Bigvlada,

this designer worked on his own Projects before he joined Rogožarski,and maybe
there was am earlier series from Sim-I to Sim-VIII ?.

I posted the photographs of SIM II and SIM VIII in the first post of this thread. He worked for the french firms, gaining experience. He finished SIM II in 1930 and SIM VIII in 1931. If (and that's a big if) there were any additional designs they haven't surfaced yet. In my opinion, the author may have used those designations when he was designing a new aircraft but scrapped them because they weren't good enough. He never mentioned them although he published several books about aircraft construction after the war.

Not every designer uses every designation. It's like football players having the number 99 or 56 although there are only 20-30 of them. Maybe those were his lucky numbers, who knows.

OK my dear Bigvlada.
