In 1937 the OKO-1 was completed as a six-seat passenger transport, with all wood construction, this single engined monoplane demonstrated good performance with state-of-the-art systems.

The performance of the aircraft in flight tests was regarded as excellent but, for unknown reasons, production was not undertaken.
