The Avia BH-16 was a single-seat very light sport aircraft built in Czechoslovakia in 1924. Like other early Avia designs, it was a low-wing braced monoplane of wooden construction. It could be powered by either a 12 kW (16 hp) four-cylinder Vaslin engine or a 19 kW (26 hp) inverted-V twin-Blackburne Tomtit.[1][2]
