The Avia 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.

BH-11
Role	Sports plane Type of aircraft
Manufacturer	Avia
Designer	Pavel Beneš and Miroslav Hajn
First flight	1923
Number built	ca. 20
Developed from	Avia BH-9

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).

A BH-11A and a BH-11C are preserved at the Prague Aviation Museum, Kbely.
