It was constructed in Zmaj, a Zemun-based factory, in the Rogožarski factory in Belgrade, and Albatros in Sremska Mitrovica. Fizir FN had an exceptional low-speed stability, a desirable trait for a training aircraft, and was reliable and easy to maintain. It was also widely used as a sport aircraft.

General Characteristics
The Zmaj Fizir FN (*Fizir Nastavni* – Fizir Trainer) was a single-engine, two-seat biplane developed in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Designed by Rudolf Fizir, it became the most numerous and successful domestically-designed pre-war aircraft, serving as the standard primary trainer for the **Yugoslav Royal Air Force** from 1931 until the 1950s. It was praised for its robust construction, reliability, and excellent low-speed stability, an essential trait for a basic trainer.
