The French government refined the BMW 003 for Voisin, a division of SNECMA. The result was the Atar engine, which in various forms powered French military aircraft for decades.
BMW 003-E1
Turbojet Engine
Work on the BMW 003 started earlier than the contemporary
Junkers Jumo 004 engine, but development problems caused the BMW
003 to enter production much later. Following the war, two captured
BMW-003s powered the prototype of the first Soviet jet, the
MiG-9,
and copies of the BMW 003 engine, designated RD-20, powered the
MiG-9 in series production.
