The Jumo 210 was Junkers Motoren's first production inverted V12 gasoline aircraft engine, first produced in the early 1930s. Depending on the version it produced between 610 and 730 PS and can be considered a counterpart of the Rolls-Royce Kestrel in many ways. Although originally intended to be used in almost all pre-war designs, rapid progress in aircraft design quickly relegated it to the small end of the power scale by the late 1930s. Almost all aircraft designs switched to the much larger Daimler-Benz DB 600, so the 210 was produced only for a short time before Junkers responded with a larger engine of their own, the Junkers Jumo 211.

Design and development


The first gasoline-burning aviation power plants that the Junkers Motorenwerke ever built were the L1 and L2 single overhead camshaft (SOHC) liquid-cooled inline-six aviation engines of the early and mid-1920s. Development of this line led up through the L8. All of these were developments of the BMW IIIa inline-six SOHC German World War I aviation engine, which BMW allowed as they were no longer interested in development of their WWI designs. The Junkers L55 engine, however, was the very first V12 layout aviation powerplant of any type created by the Junkers firm, using a pair of the earlier straight-six L5 engines as a basis for an "upright" liquid-cooled V12 aviation engine, as the contemporary BMW VI engine already was.

Development of the Jumo 210 itself started in 1931 under the designation L10. The L10 was Germany's first truly modern engine design, featuring three valves per cylinder,[1] an inverted-V layout, a supercharger as standard equipment, and a cast cylinder block. The 210 was odd in that the cylinders were machined into a block along with one side of the crankcase, two such parts being bolted together side-by-side to form the engine. Normal construction techniques used three parts, two cylinder blocks and a separate crankcase.

The L10 was first ran in static tests on October 22, 1932. With the official formation of the RLM in 1933, numerical engine designations by manufacturer was rationalized with Junkers receiving the "200 block", the L10 becoming the 210. Type approval was achieved in March 1934, and it first flew on July 5, 1934 installed in a Junkers W33. The design had initially aimed for 700 PS, but the prototypes delivered only about 600 PS, so there was some disappointment in the industry. Nevertheless, almost all German aircraft designs of the era were based on the 210, which is why they were so small compared to other countries' efforts.

Initial production of the 610 PS (602 hp, 449 kW) Jumo 210A started in late 1934. Further development led in 1935 to the 640 PS (631 hp, 471 kW) 210B and 210C. Both added a new supercharger for improved performance, along with a dump valve to avoid overboost. The B model had its propeller geared at 1:1.55 (prop:engine rpm) for high-speed use, while the C model was geared at 1:1.63 for slower flying speeds. In 1936 the new 670 PS (661 hp, 493 kW) 210D and 210E were introduced, which had the same gearing as the B and C but used a new two-speed supercharger to increase takeoff power and altitude performance.

The Jumo 210G had a direct injection system developed by August Lichte. The Jumo system used a small pump piston positioned beside each of the main cylinders, driven off the crank shaft. The injector used a simple check valve to prevent internal pressure from blowing back into the fuel line, and the pump was timed to inject at the proper point in the intake cycle. Inclusion of the injection system increased takeoff performance by about 20 PS without increasing boost rates and it also reduced fuel consumption. For those reasons most newer German engine types were set up with fuel injection systems. The Jumo 210G was rated at 730 PS (720 hp, 534 kW) and was only available for fast aircraft like the Bf 109 and Bf 110 but not for slow aircraft like the Ju 87.

Further developments were planned as Jumo 210F and 210H, but never built. In 1935 the Jumo 210H, with twin exhaust valves for each cylinder, was used for development of the Jumo 211. The Jumo 210-S was a special development by the DVL with rotary disc valves, as used in KM-8 torpedo engine. Production of the Jumo 210 came to an end in about 1938.

Der Junkers Jumo 210 war ein flüssigkeitsgekühlter Zwölfzylinder-Flugmotor mit einem Hubraum von 19,7 Litern und einer Startleistung von bis zu 730 PS. Von 1934 bis 1938 wurden von Junkers Motorenbau bzw. den Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerken insgesamt etwa 6500 Stück aller Versionen hergestellt.[1]

Le Junkers Jumo 210, fut le premier moteur d'avion à essence produit en série par Junkers, jusqu'à présent la firme s'étant spécialisée dans les moteurs Diesel. L'étude commença en 1931, sous le nom de L-10. Il équipa de nombreux avions d'avant-guerre, mais il fut rapidement écarté, dès 1938, au profit de moteur de cylindrée et de puissance supérieure comme le Daimler Benz DB 600 et son successeur chez Junkers, le Junkers Jumo 211.

Lo Junkers Jumo 210 era un motore aeronautico prodotto dall'azienda tedesca Junkers Flugzeug und Motorenwerke AG nel periodo precedente all'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale. Aveva una potenza di circa 650 CV nella versione più comune, e poteva essere considerato per molti versi la controparte del Rolls-Royce Kestrel. Sebbene originariamente si intendeva utilizzarlo nella maggior parte degli aerei, i rapidi progressi in campo aeronautico relegarono il propulsore nella fascia bassa delle potenze erogate nei tardi anni trenta. La maggior parte dei progetti di aeromobili prevedevano l'impiego dei ben più potenti Daimler-Benz DB 600, così il 210 venne prodotto solo per un breve periodo fino a quando Junkers non rispose con una propria soluzione: lo Junkers Jumo 211.
