In the design of the aircraft UTVA-66, Yugoslav aviarazrabotchiki relied on previously created model aircraft UTVA-60, which received a lot of support, both within the country itself and abroad. The similarity between the two planes can be traced in some way to the design, however, in reality, by optimizing the design UTVA-66 aircraft, its shape is more aerodynamic, which accordingly affects the parameters such as drag, handling and maneuverability, greatly increasing their .

The first development aircraft UTVA-66 1963 began at the end of the year, at the same time as before. Aircraft manufacturers are intended to receive a multi-purpose aircraft that can find application both in the civil and military aviation, which eventually happened. Moreover, aviarazrabotchiki improved aircraft in technical terms, with the result that the aircraft could make takeoff and landing on a limited area, and the included aircraft float and ski landing gear, the aircraft provided the opportunities for exploitation.

For the first time in the air plane UTVA-66 rose in 1966 year, and due to the fact that in the course of testing the aircraft did not cause complaints, the model almost immediately was sent to the serial production of which was for a sufficiently long period of time - for the whole cycle of production, aircraft manufacturers of the Czech company «UTVA Aviation Industry» 130 aircraft, some of which still continues to be used (except for use in the military sphere) was built.

Depending on the aircraft and the purpose, in the cockpit UTVA-66 can accommodate up to four people, including one pilot and four passengers.

Among other things, UTVA-66 aircraft is also capable of carrying on its board and various weights total weight of up to 569 kg.

Depending on its modification, the aircraft UTVA-66 completed a six-cylinder piston aircraft engine Lycoming GSO-480-B1J6 capacity of 320 hp, which allows the aircraft to reach speeds in 230 km \ h. (The maximum rate for the basic version of the aircraft). The maximum range of the non-stop airfare from aircraft model UTVA-66, 750 of kilometers.
