Zlin Trener is a family of aircraft that was based on a basic training aircraft, the Z-26.

The original Z-26 was designed in late 1940s and produced in early 1950s by the Czechoslovakian company, Moravan Otrokovice. It was powered by a single four-cylinder piston engine, the Walter Minor 4-III.

Variants

The following variants were progressive improvements on the Z-26:
* Z-26 - two-seat primary trainer aircraft.
* Z-126 - all-metal wing instead of original wooden wing
* Z-226 - more powerful Walter Minor 6-III six-cylinder engine, A.K.A. C-205
** Z-226A - single-seat aerobatic aircraft
** Z-226B - glider tug aircraft
** Z-226T - basic training version
* Z-326 - with an electrically retractable undercarriage
* Z-526 - with the Walter M 137 six-cylinder engine
** Z-526A - single-seat aerobatic aircraft
** Z-526F - Improved version.
* Z-726 - with Walter M 337 supercharged engine.(used in Romania by sportive aviation with M-137 Sh engines under the name Zlin-726 Universal).
** Z-726K - Improved version.

Many sub-variants were also produced, for example the Z-526A and Z-526AFS were aerobatic specials. The production of the family was terminated in the 1970s with Z-726.
