TheAero A-24 (also referred to as theA.24) was a twin-enginedbiplanebomber aircraft of the 1920s. Flight tests showed it to be severely underpowered, making it useless as a combat aircraft. Only a single prototype was built.

Aero proposed a variant designated theA-27 that was to have overcome the A-24's shortcomings by re-engining the design withBristol Jupiters, but theCzech Air Force was not interested in pursuing this option, and all development ceased.
