History

In the year 1919 Avia was created on the area of a former sugar factory in Prague Vysocany. As technical designers Pavel Bene"š, Miroslav Hajn and J.F were obligated. to cook. First construction was the low-wing aircraft Exprevit of 1920, which was developed further to the Avia BH-1 (BH stands for Bene"š/Hajn) and with its abgestrebten main wing already a typical design feature of the Avia developments of the 1920er years exhibited. In the course of the next 10 years different civilian and military aircraft one produced. Most well-known types of this epoch are the travel and trainer aircraft Avia BH-9 of 1923, the double-decker fighter Avia BH-21 of 1925 as well as the airliner Avia BH-25 of 1926, which the route Prague Rotterdam attachment log. Last model of the technical designers Bene"š and Hajn was the fighter Avia BH-33 from the year 1927, which was manufactured in Poland under license.

Avia transferred the license production of foreign airplane models also again and again in its firm history of many years. Into the 1920er years were this the French Farman F.62 (as Avia Farman F.62) as well as the Netherlands Fokker F.VIIb/3m (as a Avia Fokker F.VIIb/3m). Likewise also for many years foreign aircraft engines under license, above all water-cooled V12-Motoren von Hispano Suiza were manufactured.

1931 fused Avia with the "Škoda Plzen company and changed into new production resounding in Prague Cakovice. Bene"š and Hajn changed to CKD Praga, new chief designer became Franti"šek Under its line 1933 the Czechoslovakian airplane most usually-built with 566 copies, the hunter Avia B.534 developed. Together with aero Avia 1936/37 built the French bomber Bloch M.B.200 as aero MB.200 124 times under license. One year after bought the CSR some copies of the Soviet bomber aircraft Tupolev SB-2 as well as the license rights, but before production could start with Avia under the designation Avia B.71, Czechoslovakia was okkupiert by Nazi Germany. The existing machines were taken over by Luftwaffe and still some few copies were manufactured (altogether 66).

During the crew time produced Avia own airplanes does not separate only German models, so the Arado acre 96, the Messerschmitt ME 109 and parts for the nozzle fighter ME 262. Technical designers of Avia were involved also in the development of the first nozzle bomber of the world Arado acre 234.

After end of war production was taken up by German aircraft again, so the acre 96 as aero C-2, from the ME 109 developed the Avia S.99 and/or Avia S.199 and from the ME 262 developed the Avia S.92, which was flown still until 1957. End of the 1940er years followed the licenced production of Soviet models (Il-10 as Avia B-33, Il-14 as Avia Av-14).

In the year 1960 the aircraft construction and the production halls ended to the building by truck were changed over in the Avia work, which is continued until today. Only a small subrange continued working as a manufacturer of aircraft engines as well as ancillary industry for airplane spare parts over starting from 1988 on the aeronautical sector propeller to only manufacture.
