| Developed in parallel with the A18 to an MNO (Ministerstvo
narodni obrany, or Ministry of Defence) contract,
the A 20 single-seat fighter was designed around
the 310hp Hispano-Suiza 8Fb engine which was being licence-built by Skoda. Larger and heavier than the
A18, and similarly flown in 1923, the A 20 was an equispan,
single-bay staggered biplane of mixed construction
carrying the standard armament of twin 7.7mm
machine guns. Despite its appreciably more powerful
engine, the A 20 proved to possess an inferior performance
to that of the A18, and no further development
was undertaken beyond the single prototype.
