Teh Αερολέφανο A.10 ήταν ένα διπλάνο αεροσκάφος που κατασκευάστηκε στην Τσεχοσλοβακία λίγο μετά τον Α ́ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο. Ήταν το πρώτο εμπορικό αεροσκάφος που κατασκευάστηκε στην Τσεχοσλοβακία και ήταν γνωστό ως Ae-10 Limousine. Σχεδιάστηκε από τους Husnik και Vlasak και προοριζόταν να καλύψει την αυξανόμενη ανάγκη για εναέρια επικοινωνία από και προς τη χώρα.
