Messerschmitt M 18

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The BFW M 18, later known as the Messerschmitt M 18, was an airliner produced in Germany in the late 1920s by Bayerische Flugzeugwerke. The prototype was built of wood, while production examples were to have a metal structure. It was powered by a single Wright R-975 Whirlwind nine-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engine of 240 kW and, by the specification, had an empty mass of 890 kg and a maximum speed of 212 km/h. It was the first of a line of Messerschmitt high-wing airliners that continued with the M 20 and the M 24.
