The OK-15 was a light sports monoplane of conventional design with a low wing, enclosed side-by-side two-seat cockpit and fixed undercarriage with tailwheel. It was manufactured using traditional materials of metal, wood and fabric, and stressed for aerobatics. It had a span of 7.6 m (25 ft) and length 6.5 m (21 ft).
The aircraft was powered by a 105 horsepower (78 kW) Walter Minor 4-III piston engine, giving it an estimated cruise speed of 202 km/h (126 mph; 109 kn).[1][4]
The only prototype was registered OE-VAM and first flown on 16 July 1956. Subsequent fight tests showed its handling to be unsatisfactory and it was not put into production.[5][4]
