The Aero A.42 was a Czechoslovakian bomber aircraft of 1929 that was only ever produced in prototype form. For its day, it was an advanced design, with a sleek monoplane configuration. However, the Czech Air Force was not satisfied with it for a number of reasons. In particular, the aircraft's take-off and landing rolls were felt to be excessively long, and crew complained about the cramped cabin. The air force suggested a set of modifications to Aero, including replacing the wooden wing with a metal one, but Aero discontinued development. On September 20, 1930, one of the two prototypes set international speed records of 253.428 km/h over a {{convert|1,000|km|mi|abbr=on}} closed circuit, carrying payloads of 500 kg (1,100 lb) and 1000 kg (2,200 lb).[1] One prototype was used by the Czechoslovak Air Force until 1938, then by the Slovak Air Force. Probably it was scrapped in 1940.[2] The A.42 was a single-engined high-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed landing gear. Specifications (A.42){{Aircraft specs|ref= |prime units?=met
