Re: Abbreviation "Zümo" and the Jumo 004?

Hello Peter,

Maybe I'm totally wrong, but are you sure "Zümo" means Ueberprüfungsstelle? I was thinking along the lines of Jumo = Junkers Motor, so how about Zümo = Zündapp Motor?!

Zündapp actually did build engines for a/c, like the Z 92, a four cylinder in-line engine, I believe it produced some 50 hp, anyway. a lightweight engine.

It was used in different a/c types, like Kl 105, Go 150, Bü 180, Si 202B and Fi 253 "Spatz". Was even tried in an early helicopter, the Doblhoff WNF 342 V1.

Well, anyway, just a thought...!

Regards
Hans
