Avia BH-9, BH-10, BH-11 и BH-12

Подкосный туристский и спортивный низкоплан Avia BH-9 разработан на базе модели BH-5. На самолете был установлен двигатель Walter NZ мощностью 60 л.с. Прототип BH-5 поднялся в небо в 1923 году. Интерес к аппарату проявили чешские военные, которые заказали партию из 10 машин для использования в качестве связных и учебных. Самолет получил военное обозначение В.9.
   BH-10 стал одноместной пилотажной модификацией самолета BH-9, первый экземпляр был построен в 1924 году, а всего собрали не менее 20 самолетов, в том числе 10 для ВС Чехословакии. Двухместный BH-11, построенный в 1923 году, был очень похож на BH-9. Вооруженные силы Чехословакии получили 15 самолетов BH-11 под обозначением В.11.
   В 1929 году появился BH-11B Antelope - спортивный вариант гражданского назначения. BH-11B строился ограниченной серией и был крупнее и тяжелее, чем BH-11. BH-11C имел тот же мотор, что и BH-11, но крыло большего размаха.
   BH-12 - еще один двухместный вариант самолета BH-9, от более ранних машин его отличал иной профиль крыла. Самолет был собран в 1924 году для удовлетворения потребности в спортивном самолете со складным крылом (консоли крыла поворачивались на шарнирах и складывались вдоль фюзеляжа). Со сложенным крылом самолет транспортировался на прицепе за автомобилем.

THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL AERO SHOW AT PRAGUE
CZECHO-SLOVAKIA

Milos Bondy a Spol

   THIS firm, better known as "Avia," has an imposing exhibit, including no less than 11 machines, all of which are designated B.H. followed by a series number.
<...>
   Two examples of the "Avia" B.H. 9 are exhibited This machine is a two-seater intended for school work or sporting flying. The engine is one of the five-cylinder radial air-cooled Walters. The machine is said to be very stable, but can, at the same time, be stunted to a considerable extent. Dual controls are provided, and the pupil, when the machine is being used for school work, occupies the front seat. The main dimensions of the B.H. 9 are :- Length o.a., 22 ft. 1 in.; span, 32 ft. 3 ins.; wing area, 146 sq. ft. The weight of the machine empty is 760 lbs., the useful load 460 lbs., and the total loaded weight is 1,220 lbs. The speed near the ground is 99 m.p.h., and the machine climbs to 2,000 m. (6,560 ft.) in 12 minutes. The ceiling is about 13,000 ft.
   A very similar but somewhat smaller machine, the B.H.10, is also exhibited. This is to all intents and purposes a smaller "sister" of the B.H.9. Its overall dimensions are smaller, it is a little faster, and is capable of all manner of stunts. In fact, the B.H.10 is used extensively in the Czech flying service for teaching stunt flying. Like the B.H.9, the B.H.10 is fitted with 60 h.p. Walter engine. Its dimensions are: length overall, 18 ft. 2 ins.; span, 29 ft. 4 ins.; wing area, 105 sq. ft. The weight of the machine empty is 637 lbs. and the useful load is 278 lbs., bringing the total loaded weight up to 915 lbs. The maximum speed near the ground is 102 m.p.h., and the machine climbs to 2,000 m. in 10 minutes. The ceiling is 15,000 ft.
   The B.H.11 is a slight modification of the B.H.9, and is used as a messenger 'plane in the Czecho-Slovak army. The main alteration is in the petrol tanks, which are somewhat larger and contain sufficient fuel for 4 1/4 hours' flying. The dimensions are the same as those of the B.H.9, and the performance is very nearly the same. It may be mentioned that recently a Czechoslovak record for duration and distance was established with the B.H.9 by Mr. Lhota, who covered six laps of 200 kms. each, or a total distance of 747 miles, in 9 hrs. 46 mins. The machine carried 230 litres of petrol in a large tank placed in the cockpit normally occupied by the passenger.
   The B.H.12 is the most recent modification of the B.H.9, which it resembles in general lines and in dimensions. The structure has, however, been re-designed so as to give the lowest possible weight, and the machine is intended for this year's Brussels competitions for touring machines. An innovation is the folding wings of this machine. For transport the struts are disconnected, when the two wing halves swing around the front spar fitting and lie flat against the sides of the fuselage. Owing to the reduced weight the performance is slightly better than that of the standard B.H. 9.
