The Avia BH-27 was a Czechoslovak high-wing utility monoplane concept of the late 1920s. It would have seated three passengers in an enclosed cabin and been powered by a 110 hp Walter engine.
Recognition (WEFT)

| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- High-wing monoplane with an enclosed cabin for three passengers
- Single Walter radial engine of about 110 hp in the nose
- Utility layout with the pilot ahead of the passenger cabin
No example was built, so it has no real-world recognition. On paper it is a high-wing cabin monoplane with a single nose-mounted Walter radial, not a fighter.

History
Pavel Benes and Miroslav Hajn designed the BH-27 at Avia. Development was cancelled before any prototype was built, so the aircraft never flew.
Variants
No variants; only the single design concept existed.
Where you'll see it
