Aero Ae 03 The Aero Ae 03 was a prototype Czechoslovakian military reconnaissance aircraft aircraft designed in 1921 . It was an ambitious monoplane design , and was completely original to Aero , unlike the firm 's licence-built designs from World War I . It was to be equipped with an early turbocharger . As work progressed , it became clear that the finished product was not going to meet the requirements of the Czech Air Force specifications that it was developed to meet . Specifically , the aircraft was going to be too heavy , and with redesign judged to be impractical , construction was halted before the aircraft ever flew .
