The '''Bernard 20''' was a 1920s {{wipe|France}} single-seat [[Engineering:Monoplane|monoplane]] fighter aircraft designed and built by the Société des Avions Bernard.<ref name="orbis" /> Originally displayed as a mock-up at the 1928 Paris Air Show it was a low-wing monoplane based on the Bernard V2 racer.<ref name="orbis" /> The prototype powered by a {{convert|400|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Hispano-Suiza 12Jb inline piston engine first flew in July 1929 from Orly. With its racing inheritance, in 1930 the aircraft flew at a speed of 280&nbsp;km/h (174&nbsp;mph).<ref name="orbis" />  With the lack of interest by the French authorities for monoplanes the project was abandoned after 18 months of test flying.<ref name="orbis" />
