One such fighter project researched was the aircraft based on the Fw 190 airframe, but with the BMW 802 18-cylinder, twin-row radial engine with a three-speed, single stage supercharger. This engine had a 2600 HP take-off rating, and could deliver 1600 HP …

Aug 3, 2019 · 1 x BMW 802 18-cylinder, supercharged, twin-row, air-cooled engine developing 2,600 horsepower and driving a three-bladed propeller unit at the nose. The nose-to-tail, wingtip-to-wingtip physical qualities of the Focke-Wulf Fw …

Apr 16, 2025 · One of the innovations was the installation of an 18-cylinder BMW 802 engine in the Fw 190 body. This engine produced 2600 hp. during takeoff and provided 1600 hp. at an altitude of 12,000 m. The engine was created by BMW and was equipped with two alternating propellers, the diameter of which was 3.8 m.

Jul 30, 2012 · One such fighter project researched was the aircraft based on the Fw 190 airframe, but with the BMW 802 18-cylinder, twin-row radial engine with a three-speed, single stage supercharger. This engine had a 2600 HP take-off rating, and could deliver 1600 HP at an altitude of 12000 m (39000').

Further development FW 190 D with 18-cylinder BMW 802 starting power 2450 hp. Propeller hood open at the front for cooling air supply. Armament 4 MK, two over engine, two in wing root. Span 13.00 m, length 11.15 m.

It was the most produced radial engine of Germany in World War II with more than 28,000 built. The 801 was originally intended to replace existing radial types in German transport and utility aircraft.

Sep 29, 2023 · Further development FW 190 D with 18-cylinder BMW 802 starting power 2450 hp. Propeller hood open at the front for cooling air supply. Armament 4 MK, two over engine, two in wing root. Span 13.00 m, length 11.15 m.

Dec 2, 2007 · According to this Luft46 source ( http://www.luft46.com/fw/fwbmw802.html ), the BMW 802 produced 2600 hp for take-off and 1600 hp at 39,000 feet. The BMW P.8011 produced 2800-2900 hp for take-off but no altitude rating is given.

One such project was powered by the BMW 802 18 cylinder engine with a three speed, single stage supercharger, rated at 2600 HP for take-off and 1600 HP at altitude. Thanks to being over engineered, the 802 was never able to pass the 50 hour reliability tests and was later abandon for a more conservative design.

The BMW 802 was a large air-cooled radial aircraft engine, built using two rows of nine cylinders to produce what was essentially an 18-cylinder version of the 14-cylinder BMW 801. Although promising at first, development dragged on and the project was eventually cancelled to concentrate on jet engines instead.
