The original Aero light car was said to be Czechoslovakia’s smallest car, and was derived from the D.I.S.K. and Enka cyclecars of the 1920s designed by Novotny. The 1929 Aero Type 500 used a single-cylinder 2-stroke engine of 499cc developing 10bhp at 2.500rpm. It was developed into the 2-cylinder Types 20 and 30 (660 and 995cc) and finally in 1937 the 4-cylinder Type 50 which in twin-carburettor sports form developed 50bhp. Later Aeros were really handsome cars, especially in drophead coupé and open four-seater sports form. They all used 2-stroke engines and, from 1934, front-wheel drive. The Type 30 was revived after the war, now with a pointed radiator grille, and made until 1947.
