The SIAI S.17 was an Italian racing flying boat built by Societa Idrovolanti Alta Italia for the 1920 Schneider Trophy race. Although earlier SIAI aircraft had been used as racers, the single-seat S.17 was the company first specialised racing aircraft designed as such. It was powered by a 231 kW Ansaldo San Giorgio 4E-14 four-cylinder water-cooled engine, which the article credits with a top speed of 290.9 kilometres per hour. The S.17 took part in the 1920 contest at Monaco but crashed during the final take-off and did not finish. Its only operator was the Kingdom of Italy.
