[redstar72]

Thank you Kaiserbill,

also the Avia company had many license built aircraft,some of them are here

Hi Hesham!
Actually, this list represents military designations given by postwar Czechoslovakian Air Force to different aircraft they had in service. It doesn't mean that all of these types were produced in Czechoslovakia, moreover by Avia.

 

[hesham]

OK my dear Redstar,


but for Avia,not all of those designations related to it.

 

[redstar72]

but for Avia,not all of those designations related to it.

Didn't I say the same thing?

 

[hesham]

Hi,


from L + K magazine,here is the Avia Av.236 light aircraft drawing and Info.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

I add some unknown Projects to the list.

 

[hesham]

From Taschenbuch der Luftflotten 1924-1925,

here is a big discover,the Avia BH-14 was a single engined 12-passenger transport
airplane,powered by one 450 hp Lorraine,the BH-15 was a two-seat recce airplane,
powered by one 450 hp Lorraine.

Also BH-18 was a twin engined large transport airplane,intended to accommodate
32-passenger in 1924,all of them were a Projects only as I guess.

I hope my dear Jemiba to confirm or add on this.

 

[hesham]

A new Info,about post WWII aircraft;

AV.37 was a fighter Project.
AV.41 (first allocated) was a fighter Project.

 

[Winston]

I have found this 3-view of the BH-29 on an auction website, along with images of the BH-11C & BH-29.

I add some small Infos to the list.

 

[hesham]

From Revi 90.

 

[hesham]

A new Info,about post WWII aircraft;

AV.37 was a fighter Project.
AV.41 (first allocated) was a fighter Project.

The good question is; if was there any jet fighter from them ?.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

again Wikipedia quoted from us (specially me),it's not the first or second even third time,as
you see her,Av.43 Fighter project,as I describe literally,but the really something bothers me,
is to not mention the source, SPF ?!,I sent a complain for them before about this.

[hesham]

Hi,

was there any different between BH-34 and B.34 ?.

 

[hesham]

The B.34 was a František Novotný design (not Beneš and Hajn). 'BH-34' is just a typo for B.34.

I think not my dear,if we see,there is BH-35 and Av.35,also BH-50 and Av.50,and they are completely
different ?.

 

[Sarastro]

Hi,
the Avia B.H.34 project actually existed. It was a biplane with an inline Lorraine-Dietrich engine. I have the original drawing and will post it on this forum when I redraw it...

Many thanks my dear Sarastro,

there was also BH-52 ?.

 

[Apophenia]

Wow! I stand corrected. Thanks Sarastro.

 

[hesham]

Hi,

also in the museum (NTM Archive),there are two unknown projects,Av.51 & Av.55.

 

[hesham]

I hope to make a separated topic for all BH (Beneš and Hajn) aircraft and projects,whatever under Avia or Praga,
but only their series.

 

[Sarastro]

Hi,

also in the museum (NTM Archive),there are two unknown projects,Av.51 & Av.55.

Dear Hesham,
the Avia Av.51 type is not in the archives of NTM Praha. Type Av.55, yes.

 

[hesham]

Dear Hesham,
the Avia Av.51 type is not in the archives of NTM Praha. Type Av.55, yes.

My dear Sarastro,

are you sure ?.

 

[Sarastro]

My dear Sarastro,

are you sure ?.

Dear Hesham,
I'm sure. I have looked at this volume of the Bittner Collection at NTM, and although the Av.51 type is listed in the table of contents, the pages where it should be are completely missing. After all, it's not the only case in the Bittner collection...

 

[hesham]

Dear Hesham,
I'm sure. I have looked at this volume of the Bittner Collection at NTM, and although the Av.51 type is listed in the table of contents, the pages where it should be are completely missing. After all, it's not the only case in the Bittner collection...

OK my dear Sarastro,

and I think it was different from B.51 transport ?.

 

[hesham]

My dear Sarastro,

are you sure ?.

My dear Sarastro,

another report in the NTM archive mentioned Av.51.
