The Daimler-Benz DB 602, originally known as Daimler-Benz LOF.6, was a German diesel cycle aero engine designed and built in the early 1930s. It was a liquid-cooled upright V16, and powered the two Hindenburg-class airships. It has roughly the same displacement and weight of the Beardmore Tornado, which was used in the ill-fated R101, but has almost twice the power of the Tornado, showing Daimler-Benz's superior knowledge regarding diesel engine construction.

DB 602
Preserved Daimler-Benz DB 602
Type	Diesel V16 aero engine
National origin	Germany
Manufacturer	Daimler-Benz
First run	1933
Major applications	LZ 129 Hindenburg LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II Schnellboot 1933 series S10...13

Also, these engines, under designation MB 502, powered four Schnellboots of 1933 series S10...13 (three engines on each). The engine was modified into V20 MB 501 of 2000 hp that had a variety of applications.^{[citation needed]}

Il Daimler-Benz DB 602, originariamente noto come Daimler-Benz LOF.6, era un motore aeronautico a ciclo diesel tedesco progettato e costruito all'inizio degli anni '30. Era un motore V16 verticale raffreddato a liquido e fu utilizzato per fornire spinta propulsiva ai due dirigibili della classe Hindenburg. Aveva all'incirca la stessa cilindrata e lo stesso peso del Beardmore Tornado, che fu utilizzato nello sfortunato dirigibile inglese R101, ma aveva quasi il doppio della potenza del Tornado, a dimostrazione della allora superiore conoscenza raggiunta dalla Daimler-Benz per quanto riguardava la costruzione di motori diesel.
