List of World War II Luftwaffe aircraft engines

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.

The RLM 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. Each company was assigned a block of numbers for their designs:

090-099 - various minor manufacturers
100-199 - Bayerische Motorenwerke GmbH (BMW); later changed to 800 block
200-299 - Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke A.G.
300-399 - BMW-Flugmotorenwerke Brandenburg GmbH (BMW-Bramo)
400-499 - Argus-Motoren GmbH
500-599 - Heinkel Hirth Motoren GmbH
600-699 - Daimler-Benz A.G.
700-799 - Kl�ckner-Humboldt-Deutz A.G.
800-899 - 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 th 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 9-10, this designation was never applied.
