Meet the first Bulgarian designed aircraft! This plane was designed by the successful Assen Jordanoff, following the necessity for a domestic aircraft is Bulgaria. The need had its roots in the Second Balkan war, which caused the fledgling Bulgarian air industry to begin to fall flat after only just getting started. With Bulgaria being completely surrounded by countries that did not like it, Bulgaria struggled to get aircraft from other nations. As a result, Bulgaria decided to attempt looking inwards to get an aircraft.
