| A refined development of the A.W.16, the A.W.35 Scimitar
was powered by a Panther VII engine enclosed by a
long-chord cowling and rated at 565hp at 3660m, but having a maximum output of 605hp at 4115m. Armament comprised two 7.7mm Vickers Type E machine guns and provision
was made for four 9kg bombs to be carried
beneath the lower mainplane. Two prototypes of the Scimitar were flown in 1933, and these were followed
by four production examples for the Norwegian Army
Air Force which were delivered at the beginning of
1936. These were powered by the Panther XIA with a
maximum rating of 730hp.
