BMW Flugmotorenwerk

Munich, DE

The BMW aero-engine factory in Munich that produced the **BMW 801 radial engine** powering the Fw 190 fighter and the **BMW 003 jet engine** — one of the first operational jet engines in history, used in the **He 162 Volksjäger**. USAAF bombing raids in April 1944 severely disrupted production. The factory's jet engine work contributed to Germany's last-ditch effort to deploy jet aircraft in quantity.
