The L-200 Morava aircraft was developed in 1957 at the LET works in Kunovice by a team led by engineer Ladislav Smrcek. It was a 5-seat executive and ambulance aircraft of all-metal construction, in a low-wing configuration with twin vertical tails. The maiden flight of the XL-200 prototype took place that same year. A total of 3 prototype specimens were built.
After a series of tests with different engine variants, the L-200 was ordered into serial production in 1960. Successive versions differed in the equipment used. Between 1960 and 1964, a total of 367 units of the L-200 A and L-200 D versions (with three-blade propellers, still in service) were produced.
Due to its capabilities, L-200 Morava aircraft were also used in air ambulance services. This type was widely exported, including to Poland, the USSR and Yugoslavia. The Cuban Air Force conducted trials with arming the L-200 airframe, and a single specimen even found its way to the United States. Many record flights were made on the L-200A Morava. The specimen with registration OK-PHD made a record flight in 1962 on the route Prague, Belgrade, Athens, Beirut, Baghdad, Bahrain, Karachi, Bombay. The flight took 6 days, and the total route covered 8,200 km.
The exhibited specimen with factory number 170409 and registration SP-NXA was donated to the Museum’s collection by the Central Air Ambulance Team in Warsaw in 1984.
