Historical Description and Application

The Oberursel Ur.II was a German rotary aircraft engine with 110 hp, produced at the Motorenfabrik Oberursel works. It was mainly used by the German Empire from 1916 to 1918, the peak period of World War I. This engine powered famous fighters such as the Fokker Dr.I "Triplane", flown among others by the legendary Manfred von Richthofen, known as the "Red Baron", as well as the Fokker E.V and Albatros D.III aircraft. Thanks to its design, the Ur.II gave these machines outstanding maneuverability, making it one of the milestones in the development of aviation technology of that era.
