(Sometimes Koerting).

-In 1903 a Körting engine with 4 cylinders in line gave 30 CV and weighed 80 Kgs.

-In 1909, the previous engine was possibly installed on a Jatho plane.

-And in that same year the Schuber biplane used a 70 CV Körting engine.

“Körting Diesel engine”

-In this Körting Diesel engine we see the monobloc injection pump on its right side.

-The AEG Z1 and E1 Zeppelines were powered by the Körting 8-cylinder V-engines that gave 70/75 CV.

-It is said that they actually gave 65 CV at 1,250 rpm and 72 CV at 1,400 rpm. It had L-shape combustion chambers.

“Cross-section for the 70 CV engine”

“Side cross-section”

-There was another V-8 that gave 185 CV at 2,150 rpm. It was geared in a ratio of 0.5 to 1 and had four valves per cylinder.

-The Körting III with 8 cylinders in V giving 195 CV was mounted on the Roland LFG.

“On an airship”

-Below we show the Körting II, V-8 with 185/195 CV that is mentioned above. It is an outline of the front section.

“Körting, 190 CV”

-Later came out the Körting IV. It was a geared, 250 CV, water-cooled V-12 engine.

“Körting IV”

-The Körting IV was planned for 250 CV. During tests it gave 252 CV and a maximum power of 262 at 1,750 rpm.

-It had individual cylinders, a herringbone gear, and two carburetors on each side of the engine, four in total.

-A newly restored Körting IV at the Friends of the Safran Museum is about to serve the MAE. We offer some pictures of it.

“Two views of the Körting IV”

-The MAE Museum has an agreement for the restoration of engines with the Association of the Snecma/Safran Museum Friends, a “Benevolent” organization whose participants are former mechanics of the factory that today makes the engines for Airbus, Arianne, etc.

“Remains of the SL-11 and possible Körting”

From Appendix 6: The Körting 8 SL-116 has been located at the Munich Museum.

-It was used on the military MI, MII and MIII airships, the GroB-Basenach and several Parsivals.

-They were also acquired by Japan and Russia.

“Körting model 8-SL-116”

-It was constructed by Körting AG in Hannover-Lörtingsdorf, around 1908. It gave 75 CV at 1,400 rpm.

-On the engine plate we see that it was manufactured in 1907. The serial number is 12812. The combustion chambers are of the L-shape type. The cylinders are wrapped with red copper sheet sleeves, which was common in other engines of the time.

“Identification plate on the Körting V8 of 75 CV”

From Appendix 9: New views of the V-8 engine for airships. It is the 8-SL-116 model that gave 75 CV (max. 85 CV).

“Körting V-8 from the year 1909”

-This illustration is much clearer than the one shown in the main text.

“Two more views of the same Körting”

“Körting ad of the time”

From Appendix 10: New photograph of the V8 engine that appears in the main text in a drawing.
