Шаблон:Infobox aircraft engine

The Argus As 17 was an air cooled six-cylinder in-line aircraft engine designed by the German engineering company Argus Motoren in the 1930s. Developed from the same company's smaller As 8, the engine was produced in ratings between Шаблон:Convert. First demonstrated in 1934, it powered a number of competitors at the Challenge International de Tourisme that year, including the Messerschmitt Bf 108. Argus produced it in small numbers as German manufacturers like Messerschmitt preferring V-8 alternatives for their aircraft.

Design and development

The Argus As 17 was an inverted six cylinder aircraft engine in the Шаблон:Convert class that was first demonstrated in 1934.Шаблон:Sfn It was a development of the company's As 8 four-cylinder engine.Шаблон:Sfn The engine had cast aluminium heads and aluminium pistons mounted in steel cylinders and connected to a chrome-nickel steel crankshaft. Bore was Шаблон:Convert and stroke Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn

It was used to power a small number of German aircraft in the late 1930s, notably three entries to the Challenge International de Tourisme 1934, the Fieseler Fi 97, Klemm Kl 36 and Messerschmitt Bf 108.Шаблон:Sfn Each aircraft was entered in two variants, one powered by the Argus engine and other with the more powerful Hirth HM 8U V-8.Шаблон:Sfn The engine was developed in three versions. The lower powered As 17A, which was used to power the fourth prototype Bf 108, was rated at 200 hp.Шаблон:Sfn A more developed engine, the As 17B, rated at Шаблон:Convert, was used to power the seventh Bf 108A prototype.Шаблон:Sfn The more powerful As 17 Special was also produced, which differed in having a supercharger that increased rated power to Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn

The engine was produced in small numbers, never achieving serial production. Only two of the Fieseler aircraft were fitted with the engine.Шаблон:Sfn Klemm preferred the Hm 8U for the definitive Kl 36B.Шаблон:Sfn Production examples of the Bf 108 used either the HM 8U or Argus's own V-8, the As 10, the latter becoming the standard for the BF 108B.Шаблон:Sfn
