The '''Macchi M.17''' was an Italian racing flying boat built by Macchi for the 1922 Schneider Trophy race.
==Design and development== The M.17 was the first purpose-built racing seaplane that Macchi company designer Alessandro Tonini designed. It was a single-seat flying boat powered by a 186-kilowatt (250-horsepower) Isotta Fraschini V.6 engine mounted on the upper wing on N struts<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100706021948/http://historia.mforos.com/1314199/7837731-el-trofeo-schneider-aviones-de-carreras/ El Trofeo Schneider (Aviones de carreras)]</ref> and driving a two-bladed propeller in a pusher configuration.
==Operational history== Macchi built two M.17 aircraft, one of which (I-BAHG) took third place in the 1922 Schneider Trophy race with Arturo Zanetti at the controls. It posted an average speed of 225 kilometers per hour (140 miles per hour).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100706021948/http://historia.mforos.com/1314199/7837731-el-trofeo-schneider-aviones-de-carreras/ El Trofeo Schneider (Aviones de carreras)]</ref> <!-- ==Variants== --> The other M.17, I-BAFV flown by Piero Corgnolino, placed fourth.
