The Aero A.100<\/strong> was a biplane<\/a> light bomber<\/a> and reconnaissance aircraft<\/a> built in Czechoslovakia<\/a> during the 1930s.

Design and development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Development of the A.100 was in response to a Czechoslovak Air Force<\/a> requirement of 1932[citation needed<\/a><\/em>]<\/sup> for a uniform replacement for the Aero A.230s<\/a>, Aero Ap.32s<\/a>, and Letov \u0160.16s<\/a> light bombers and reconnaissance aircraft then in service.[2]<\/a><\/sup> Work began with a further revision of the Aero A.30<\/a>, the Aero A.430, which incorporated little of the original designs from which it had been evolved and was soon redesignated Aero A.100, in a new numbering sequence just introduced by Aero.[2]<\/a><\/sup>[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A.100 was a single-engined biplane<\/a> of mixed wood and metal construction with a fixed conventional landing gear<\/a>.[3]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a><\/sup> The aircraft’s fuselage<\/a> was elliptical section, and had a steel tube structure covered in duralumin<\/a> panels.
