The Zlin 22 Junak, a two-seat cabin monoplane, debuted in the 1940s as an offshoot of the Zlin 381.
It was distinguished by its side-by-side seating configuration for two passengers.
The design featured a low-wing cantilever monoplane structure with a traditional tailwheel landing gear.
A 75 hp (56 kW) Praga D engine powered the aircraft, located at the front, although the initial prototype utilised a 57 hp (43 kW) Persy III engine.
Additionally, a three-seat variant named the Zlin 22M was developed, and two prototypes of a three- or four-seat tourer version, the Zlin 122, were also built.
