An example of a popular low-power engine from the post-World War I era.
As a result of the rapidly developing sport aviation after World War I, a demand emerged for a new class of small engines. The creator of the Mercedes Benz F-7502 engine was designer Dr. Ferdinand Porsche.
He designed it while working at Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft in Stuttgart in the 1920s. It is (alongside the Bristol Cherub engine) a representative of the popular low-power engines of that era in the Museum’s collection.
