2007 Aero A.12 buvo Čekoslovakijos dvipusis lengvasis bombonešis ir karinis žvalgybinis lėktuvas, pagamintas nedideliais kiekiais netrukus po Pirmojo pasaulinio karo. Nors A.12 primena "Hansa-Brandenburg" suprojektuotą orlaivį, kurį "Aero" statė karo metu pagal licenciją kaip "Ae.10", jis buvo pačios bendrovės dizainas. Jis turbūt reikšmingiausias kaip tiesioginis labai sėkmingo A.11 ir įvairių jo darinių palikuonis. Šio tipo pavyzdys yra išsaugotas Letecké Muzeum Kbely mieste.

General Characteristics

The Aero A.12 was a two-seat biplane designed and produced in Czechoslovakia in the early 1920s. It was one of the first successful military aircraft developed by the newly established Aero company for the Czechoslovakian Air Force. Primarily used for light bombing and reconnaissance, the A.12 proved reliable and served as the design basis for the highly successful A.11 series.
