Other experimental models included the 213S for low-altitude use, and the turbocharged 213T. Further development of the Jumo 213 was carried out at Arsenal de l'Aéronautique in France after the Second World War. Arsenal 24H-Tandem:2x 24H engines in tandem driving co-axial propellers. Junkers Jumo 213 The Junkers Jumo 213 was a World War II-era V-12 liquid-cooled aircraft engine, a development of Junkers Motoren's earlier design, the Jumo 211. The design added two features, a pressurized
