这 阿维亚 BH-11 was a two-seat sport aircraft built in Czechoslovakia in 1923, a further development of the Avia BH-9. The main changes in this version involved a redesign of the forward fuselage. 15 examples were ordered by the Czechoslovakian Army as trainers and general liaison aircraft, and operated under the military designation B.11. Six years after the BH-11 first flew, a new version was produced for the civil market as the BH-11B Antelope. This replaced the original Walter NZ 60 45 kW (60 hp) engine with a Walter Vega of 63 kW (85 hp) and was built in small numbers. As a further development, the BH-11C retained the original engine but the wingspan was increased by 1.4 m (4 ft 6 in).

General Characteristics
The Avia BH-11 was a Czechoslovakian two-seat, low-wing braced monoplane designed by Pavel Beneš and Miroslav Hajn, making its first flight in 1923. It was a successful development of the earlier BH-9 and was primarily intended for the civil sports and touring market. Due to its proven reliability, good flight characteristics, and numerous victories in international air races (like the Coppa d’Italia), it was adopted by the Czechoslovak Air Force for use as a trainer and liaison aircraft (designated B.11).
