The BMW 116 was a piston aircraft engine that BMW developed in the 1930s, first under the designation BMW XII. It was a liquid-cooled V12 with a bore and stroke of 130 mm each, giving a displacement of 20.7 litres, and it used carburettor fuel feed with a radial supercharger. The engine was rated at 620 horsepower (460 kW) with a compression ratio of 6.5 to 1, and it weighed 470 kg dry, with an overall length of 1,637 mm. Development work stopped in 1937, so the engine remained a stage in BMW's line of large liquid-cooled aero engines and not a production powerplant. The comparable engines the source names are the Junkers Jumo 210 and the Rolls-Royce Kestrel.
