The Argus 411 was a German-engineered, air-cooled, inverted V12 piston aircraft engine produced by Argus Motoren during the period of World War II.
Design and development
Derived from the Argus As 410, the As 411 represented an enhanced and more potent iteration. The majority of these engines were manufactured by Renault in occupied Paris, where they powered aircraft such as the Siebel Si 204 and the postwar Dassault MD 315 Flamant. The engine delivered an output of 600 PS (592 hp, 441 kW) at 3,300 rpm.
Post-World War II, production continued under Renault as the Renault 12S. Following the consolidation of French aircraft engine manufacturers into SNECMA in 1945, manufacturing persisted with the updated designation SNECMA 12S.
