Fw 190 Engine Control Kommandogerat

In this video we cover the system logic of the Kommandogerat system. This was the forerunner of modern engine management systems. It controlled fuel mixture, propeller pitch, manifold pressure, ignition timing and supercharger speed switching. All without an electronic computer. It's an amazing mechanism that some may find interesting.

We will get into the air fuel ratios and ignition timing values run by the BMW 801. Some people have asked for that, and it's tough information to come by. The information is in the video, but as you will see, some of it raises as many questions as it answers.

The Kommandogerat system was used on BMW 801 radials, typically found on 190 A models as well as Ju88s and Do17s. So while I think of this video as Fw190 part 4 in a series, it's relevant to some other planes as well, and to the basic principles of engine operation.
