The Walter Mars I was a nine-cylinder, air-cooled, radial engine for aircraft use built in Czechoslovakia in the late 1920s.
The Mars I was the largest capacity design of a series of three similar radial engines developed by the Walter company. Common cylinders were used for the five-cylinder Walter Vega and the seven-cylinder Walter Venus, the Mars I being a nine-cylinder engine.[1]
