2. PZL M15 Belfegor
Designed for big Russian farms, this 1970s Polish agro-jet prototype was powered by an AI-25 jet engine. Aviation Museum, Krakow. This amazing Polish ag-plane had only one engine, not two. The engine was the same as used in the Yak-40. It used lots of bleed air to blow the stuff out of the hoppers and in fact is a sound responce to a questionable specification/requirement.

10. Argus As-5
Piotr Lopalewski, Chief Registry & Research Dept. at the Polish Aviation Museum, Krakow has provided the following information:
24-cylinder, water cooled "W"configuration; Maximum output: 1,119 kw (1,500 hp) at 1,800 RPM; Compression ratio: 5.6:1; Capacity: 94.1 liters (5,742 cu in); Weight: 1,100 kg (2,425 lbs).
The engine was probably envisaged for a big, single engine passenger plane. The designer was engineer Riedel–the same who designed the two-stroke starter engine for the Jumo 004 turbojet engine. Three prototype As-5s were built between 1924 and 1927. None were ever flown.
