| In parallel with production of the BH-21 fighter, Avia
manufactured a lighter, lower-powered aerobatic
advanced training version without armament, 30
examples being built as the BH-22. By a reverse process,
a single-seat light night fighter was evolved by introducing
armament on the BH-22 trainer in 1925, two
prototypes being completed and evaluated as the
BH-23 (also known as the BH-22N). The BH-23 was
powered by a Skoda-built HS 8Aa eight-cylinder watercooled
Vee engine rated at 180hp, and armament comprised
two 7.7mm machine guns. No production of the BH-23 was undertaken.
