- Summary
- The BMW 6002 was the first gas turbine engine designed by BMW after World War II. The development of this engine formed the basis of BMW's post-War gas turbine research and development organization, and was one of the first generation small gas turbine engines developed worldwide.
- The turbojet version of the engine, the BMW Model 8025 (later 8011), was the first German engine to power a German aircraft after World War II, the Hutter-Allgaier-Turbinensegler H-30 TS powered sailplane. A further development, the Model 6012 L3 turboshaft engine, powered the Dornier Do 32K Kiebitz rotary-wing platform which was first demonstrated in flight in late 1970. This Model 6002 turboshaft engine is an auxiliary power unit, and is only one of two artifacts known to exist.
