Maybach MB IVa, In-line 6 Engine, ca. 1916. Creator: Maybach Motorenbau
Originally the engine building subsidiary of the German Zeppelin Company (Luftschiffbau Zeppelin G.m.b.H.), Maybach Motorenbau G.m.b.H. of Friedrichshafen possibly became better known by its later luxury automobiles. Maybach began manufacturing engines in 1909, following a characteristic German six-cylinder, water cooled, vertical design. These powered the World War I Zeppelin, Schutte-Lanz, and Parseval airships or airplanes such as the Rumpler C4 and C5. Development of the Maybach Model Mb Iv began in 1916. It had a high compression ratio for high-altitude flying, and powered such aircraft as the Rumple Ru C VI and C VII long-distance reconnaissance airplanes. The Treaty of Versailles curtailed the companys activities following the war

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Maybach MB IVa, a remarkable in-line 6 engine dating back to approximately 1916. Created by Maybach Motorenbau, originally a subsidiary of the renowned German Zeppelin Company, this engineering marvel played a crucial role during World War I. Maybach Motorenbau began its journey in engine manufacturing in 1909 and quickly gained recognition for their characteristic German six-cylinder design. The powerful engines produced by Maybach powered various airships and airplanes of that era, including the famous Zeppelin, Schutte-Lanz, and Parseval models. The development of the Model Mb Iv marked another milestone for Maybach as it boasted a high compression ratio specifically designed for high-altitude flying. This innovation made it an ideal choice to power long-distance reconnaissance aircraft such as the Rumple Ru C VI and C VII. However, despite their groundbreaking achievements in aviation technology, Maybach's activities were curtailed following World War I due to the Treaty of Versailles. Nevertheless, their legacy lives on through this stunning photograph which captures not only the intricate details of their craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to Germany's rich heritage in engineering excellence. Displayed at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), this image is part of an educational institution dedicated to preserving scientific advancements throughout history. It represents an era when steel, aluminum paint copper rubber wood ceramic adhesive textile materials were combined with cutting-edge technology like reciprocating rotary propulsion systems. As we admire this piece from Heritage Art collection at NASM today, let us appreciate how these technological marvels paved the way for modern transportation while reminding us of our past conflicts and triumphs during World War I.
