 this is a list of all german motors including all aircraft engines, rocket motors, jets and any other powerplants, along with a very basic description. it includes experimental engines as well as those that made it to production status. the reich air ministry used an internal designation system that included a number signifying the engine type, 9 for piston engines and 109 for jets and rockets, followed by a manufacturer's code, followed by an engine series number.christopher, john. the race for hitler's x-planes (the mill, gloucestershire: history press, 2013), p.77 and 100. * 090â099 â various minor manufacturers * 1 â bayerische motorenwerke gmbh (bmw); later changed to 800 block * 2 â junkers flugzeug- und motorenwerke a.g. * 3 â bmw-flugmotorenwerke brandenburg gmbh (bmw-bramo) * 4 â argus-motoren gmbh * 5 â heinkel hirth motoren gmbh * 6 â daimler-benz a.g. * 7 â brueckner or klÃ¶ckner-humboldt-deutz a.g. * 8 â bayerische motorenwerke gmbh (bmw) using this system the famous bmw engine used in the focke-wulf fw 190 would be known as the 9-801. however this system was not widely used, even within the rlm, and a common name consisting of the manufacturer's name (often abbreviated) followed by the model number was much more common. the list below uses the common bmw 801 instead of the official 9-801. engines produced before the rlm's designation system was set up are often listed using the same basic terminology. so while the interwar argus 10 engine can be referred to as the as 10, it is not correct to call it the 9â10, this designation was never applied. the luftwaffe also used engines from france, particularly the gnÃ´me-rhÃ´ne 14 for its henschel hs 129 ground attack aircraft and messerschmitt me 323 "gigant" transporter. notable engines: bmw 003 bmw 801 hwk 109â509 == piston engines (motors) == ===argus motoren=== * argus as 8 â air-cooled, 4-inline *argus as 10 air-cooled, inverted v-8 engine *argus as 401 eight-cylinder *argus as 402 *argus as 410 12-cylinder, air-cooled *argus as 411 larger development of the 410 *argus as 412 h-block development of the 410 *argus as 413 ===bayerische motorenwerke=== *bmw vi v-12 water-cooled *bmw 112 v-12 water-cooled, (prototype) *bmw 114 9-cylinder radial diesel, combined air-water-cooled (prototypes) *bmw 116 v-12 water-cooled *bmw 117 v-12 water-cooled *bmw 132 9-cylinder radial, air-cooled *bmw 139 14-cylinder two-row radial, air-cooled (prototype) *bmw 801 14-cylinder two-row radial, air-cooled â most-produced radial engine of the third reich *bmw 802 experimental, 18-cylinder two-row radial *bmw 803 experimental, 28-cylinder liquid-cooled four-row radial *bmw 804 ===[[bmw-bramo
