BH-29
The Avia BH-29 was a trainer aircraft built in Czechoslovakia in 1927, in the hope of marketing it to the Czechoslovak Army, and to Czechoslovak Airlines as a primary trainer. It was a conventional design, a staggered unequal-span biplane of wooden construction with tailskid undercarriage. The pilot and instructor sat in tandem open cockpits. The aircraft was powered by a 85 hp (63 kW) Walter NZ 85. A more powerful version was built, powered by a 120 hp (89 kW) Walter NZ 120 radial engine. When no interest was shown in the aircraft domestically, Avia undertook a promotional tour where the aircraft was demonstrated in eighteen European countries, but this did not result in any sales either and only a few were built.
