Like AW.17 i suppose , in project, had two rolls-royce F.XI aka Kestrel : AW.17 and AW.20 seems same aircraft project with different designation

... AW.17 and AW.20 seems same aircraft project with different designation

They do look very similar. Oddly, the nacelles of the slightly larger A.W.20 appear to be bulkier than those of the A.W.17 fighter. Does the Putnam's book say specifically that the "Rolls-Royce pusher engines" for the A.W.17 were also F.XI/Kestrels?

Also curious if the A.W.20 day bomber was meant to be a two-seater?

That's right my dear Airman.

From Putnam's book, the AW.28.

 

[hesham]

From Putnam's book,

the AW.37.

 

[riggerrob]

From Putnam's book,

the AW.37.

Did they need to install the engine that far forward for balance?
Was the turret really that heavy?

 

[Schneiderman]

An AW manual turret weighed well under 90lb, then you have to add the gun, ammo. and gunner

From Putnam's book,

has anyone a drawing to AW.18 Project ?.
