Picture doesn't match
editThe picture shown doesn't look anything like the V-1 pulsejet engine. A tube is pretty much a tube, but the stuff at the front doesn't resemble the vane and fuel assembly of the V-1's engine.
Nor do the parts shown below the jet chamber look familiar. I've been studying the V-1 and its engine while trying to make a detailed 3D model, and I don't recognise those bits.
The picture's not clear, but this does look like a pulsejet, with a slimmer intake vane system than the V-1. Perhaps it's a different model Argus.
Something's wrong. It could be me, of course. --Cdavis999 (talk) 10:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Engine performance
editThe article had an unreferenced claim for engine thrust. I found
- Swopes, Bryan R. (2019-06-13). "13 June 1944". This day in aviation. Retrieved 2019-08-08.
Powered by an Argus Motoren Werke GmbH As 014 pulse jet engine which produced a maximum thrust of 3,530 newtons (794 pounds of thrust) at 750 kilometers per hour (460 miles per hour) at Sea Level.
and used that as the source for the thrust figure on this page. However, it is apparently contradicted by the source referenced on the Fieseler Fi 103R Reichenberg page - 660 pounds-force (2.9 kN)
Then I found this source:
- Simpson, Bruce (2003-01-11). "The Argus V1 Pulsejet". My Jet Engine Projects. Bruce Simpson. Retrieved 2019-08-08.
Static thrust: 500lbs; Max thrust: 800lbs
which is consistent with both the book referenced on this page and the other web source I found.

Variants Argus 109
editThey added a Trompe to the Pulse Jet, allowing also post-combustion, improving thrust and fuel economy, variants 109-014 and 109-044. Gesund + --Caula (talk) 10:56, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
