Original, Airworthy Supercharger for the Daimler-Benz DB 605
The Daimler-Benz DB 605 was a legendary aero engine of World War II, powering some of the most formidable German aircraft, including the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Bf 110. A key component of this engine was its supercharger, designed to enhance performance at high altitudes where air density is lower.
The DB 605’s supercharger played a crucial role in maintaining optimal engine power across varying altitudes, extending the aircraft's operational range and effectiveness in combat. By compressing incoming air before it entered the combustion chambers, the supercharger ensured a consistent power output, giving German fighters a critical edge in aerial engagements.
Aircraft Powered by the DB 605 Supercharged Engine
Messerschmitt Bf 109 (G and K Variants)
One of the most iconic fighters of World War II.
The Bf 109G "Gustav" and Bf 109K "Kurfürst" were equipped with the DB 605 engine.
The Bf 109G-6 featured the DB 605A-1 engine with a single-stage, single-speed supercharger for improved high-altitude performance.
Messerschmitt Bf 110 (G Variant)
A powerful twin-engine heavy fighter and night fighter.
The Bf 110G was fitted with the DB 605B engine, which included an optimized supercharger for better high-altitude capabilities.
Messerschmitt Me 210 & Me 410 (Hornisse)
The Me 210 was an early attempt at a multi-role aircraft, later refined into the Me 410 Hornisse.
Both aircraft were powered by the DB 605 engine with its mechanically driven supercharger, enhancing their speed and performance at higher altitudes.
This original, airworthy supercharger represents a remarkable piece of aviation history, having played a vital role in the engineering and performance of some of Germany’s most advanced wartime aircraft.
