Designed was the 511 as a fast reconnaissance aircraft. The design of this aircraft was the Avro designer H. E. Broad Smith deliberately kept simple to make a simple disassembly and easy transportation of the machine possible; correspondingly small were the dimensions of the 511

The structural design of this piece was very advanced for its time, it had all four wing ailerons and an early form of flaps on the lower surface. The 511 was so stable that, for example, the landing speed of the machine was below 60 km / h.
