The Argus As 014 (designated 109-014 by the RLM) was a pulsejet engine used on the German V-1 flying bomb of World War II, and the first model of pulsejet engine placed in mass production.

Perhaps the most famous, or should that be infamous, pulsejet engine of all time is the huge unit designed by Schmidt and built by Argus in Germany for their V1 flying bomb. This engine was a masterpiece of simplicity and heralded in the dawn of what we now know as the cruise missile or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The principal military use of the pulsejet engine, with the volume production of the Argus As 014 unit (the first pulsejet engine ever in volume production), was for use with the V-1 flying bomb. The engine's characteristic droning noise earned it the nicknames "buzz bomb" or "doodlebug".

2019年12月1日 · One such widely-researched pressure gain combustor is the pulsejet. The current paper details an experimental investigation performed on the most well-known pulsejet: the Argus As 014 pulsejet engines that were used to power the infamous V-1 …

The Argus As 014 (also known as the 109-014 by the RLM) was a pulsejet engine used on the German V-1 flying bomb of World War II, and the first model of pulsejet engine placed in mass production. License manufacture of the As 014 was carried out in Japan in the latter stages of World War II, as the Ka10.

2016年5月26日 · In 1939, the most infamous pulsejet Schmidt Argus V1 pulsejet was developed by German Paul Schmidt and manufactured by Argus Company. It is known as Schmidt Argus V1 pulsejet. That pulsejet was used to power the Fieseler Fi 103 V-1 “Buzz Bomb” shown in Fig. 5.1. It is an unmanned bomb steered by a gyro.

2019年8月27日 · Experimental research was carried out on the Argus As 014 pulsejet engines that were used to power the infamous V-1 "buzz" bombs during World War II, which appear to be the most mass-produced...

The V1's Argus Schmidt pulse jet, also known as a resonant jet, could operate at zero airspeed due to the nature of its intake vane system and accoustically tuned resonant combustion chamber. Film footage of the V1 always shows the distinctive pulsating jet exhaust of a fully running engine before the catapult system is triggered.

2010年12月25日 · It is a 20 lbs thrust pulse jet engine with 32 real Argus type valves. This it a small version of the German V1 buzz bomb engine. I had to build my own test equipment so I could test valves to make sure they would work.

The engine (designed by Schmidt and built by Argus of Germany) consisted of a tube 3.66 meters (144 inches) long, with a maximum diameter of 58.8 centimeters (22 inches), built of steel plate. On the inside, near the front end, was a grid bearing a number of …
