The SIAI S.17 was an Italian racing flying boat built by SIAI for the 1920 Schneider Trophy race.
Although earlier SIAI aircraft had been employed as racers, the single-seat S.17 was SIAI's first specialized racing aircraft designed as such. Its 231 kW (310 hp) Ansaldo San Giorgio 4E-14 engine gave it a top speed of 290.9 km/h (157.1 kn; 180.8 mph). [1] [2]
The S.17 participated in the 1920 Schneider Trophy races at Monaco, but crashed during the final take-off and did not finish. [3]
