Variants
A twelve cylinder version, the Jumo 218, was designed but never built, while a single 24-cylinder 4-crankshaft Junkers Jumo 223 was built and tested.
The Jumo 204 and 205 were licensed to Napier & Son, who built a small number as the Napier Culverin just prior to the war. After the war, they mounted three Culverins in a triangle layout to produce the Napier Deltic, which was for some time one of the most powerful and compact diesel engines in the world. Work on this engine started in 1947 and engines were running by 1950.
