Developed from and slightly larger and heavier than Procaer/General Avia F.15 Picchio and Delfino designed by Dott Ing Stelio Frati (see Procaer in Italian section of Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1983-84). The programme was launched in June 1991; construction of preproduction aircraft started December 1991; production aircraft construction began June 1993. Preproduction aircraft (OE-VPY) first flew October 1994 and was due to be certified by RAI in accordance with FAR Pt 23 in February 1996, with first deliveries scheduled for March 1996. By the end of 1995, five further examples were in final assembly, 30 airframes were completed and 70 more were in various stages of production. The F-15-F 300 was expected to make its first flight by May 1996, with deliveries beginning third quarter of that year. However only one aircraft (I-EXCA; second built) was registered in 1996; no further information received subsequently. Production of the F-15-F by Sokol in Russia was terminated at an early stage.
