The M 20 was designed by Willy Messerschmitt at Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, primarily for use with Luft Hansa which had ordered two in advance of the first flight. [1] It was a development of the BFW M.18d eight-seater, equipped with a single 375 kW (500 hp) upright inline water-cooled BMW VIa engine.
BMW 801 D2 at the Flugmuseum Aviaticum, Austria (2007) The 801C was replaced with the BMW 801 D-2 series engines in early 1942, which ran on C2/C3 100 octane fuel instead of the A/B/C/L's B4 87 octane, boosting takeoff power to 1,700 PS (1,677 hp, 1,250 kW). The BMW 801G-2 and H-2 models were D-2 engines modified for use in bomber roles with ...
During the period of 1927-33, Messerschmitt designed a series of six sport planes, the single-seat M.17 and M.19, and the two-seat M.23, M.27 M.31, and finally the M.35. [1] With the exception of the M.23, none sold in large numbers. They were all single-engine low-wing cantilever monoplanes with open cockpits and fixed undercarriage.
The BFW M.23, sometimes known as the Messerschmitt M 23, was a 1920s two-seat sporting aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt, and produced by Bayerische Flugzeugwerke. Examples won several prestigious races in 1929 and 1930.
The M.19 was entered into the Sachsenflug competition, flown by Theo Cronweiss and won both the technical prize and the overall award, winning Messerschmitt 60,000 RM which he invested in BFW. [ 1 ] Only two were built, but the low-wing, aerodynamically clean M.19 lead to a series of two-seat developments: the successful M.23 , the M.27 , the M ...
Messerschmitt AG (German pronunciation: [ˈmɛsɐʃmɪt]) was a German share-ownership limited, aircraft manufacturing corporation named after its chief designer Willy Messerschmitt from mid-July 1938 onwards, and known primarily for its World War II fighter aircraft, in particular the Bf 109 and Me 262.
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.
During the late 1920s, the German aeronautical engineer Willy Messerschmitt had undertaken the design of several capable racing aircraft.Specifically, separate BFW M.23s had won the Circuit of Europe or Challenge International de Tourisme during both 1929 and 1930; these victories, which came about as a result of the aircraft’s impressive performance, quickly garnered a favourable reputation ...
