The BMW 018 (RLM designation BMW 109-018) was an early axial-flow turbojet engine project by BMW AG in Germany.[1]
The 018 design was begun in 1940. It was generally similar to the 003, but had a twelve-stage axial compressor and three-stage turbine, for an output of 3,500 kg (7,700 lb) thrust.[2]
No engines were completed before the end of the Second World War.[3]
