In order to replace obsolete training aircraft for pilots, Fizir FN biplane, Yugoslav Royal Air Force (YRAF) Command in the mid-1936th, the contest for election of a new type of school for basic training aircraft pilots. Terms of the competition were that the new aircraft is the low wing should ensure a smooth transition to the modern low wing fighters of that time who were in the arms of the Yugoslav Royal Air Force (Hurricane, Messerschmitt and IK-3). Rogožarski Factory has decided to participate in this competition, so engaged for the occasion, but two well-known aeronautical engineer Miroslav Nenadovića and Mitrovic Milenko-Spirta, who were immediately taken up this task. Prototype of the same year began and ended in May 1940th when he made ​​the first test flight. After careful examination of the factory was handed over to the plane Test group YRAF for examination. After testing the plane opitnoj group was transferred to the first pilot school in Pancevo and the second pilot's school in Kraljevo to flight instructors and give their opinion on the usability "Brucoš" aircraft.

Simultaneously with the repair and reconstruction of the wings made ​​so that the wing may enter into reverse (this was the first Yugoslav aircraft with folding wings). Unfortunately the Commission has already given an opinion on the tested planes that were unfavorable for "Brucoš".

The second Commission declared plane Aero-2 for the best. Desiring however to sell his plane, and cooperating in a lot of time with the Marine aviation, the factory has made the project Rogožarski seaplane "Brucoš" with Walter Six powerful engine power 140 kW, and the metal of the Canadian company EDO floats. This aircraft was offered command of the Navy as a seaplane for basic training.
