Oberursel U.I

The Oberursel U.I was an early German aircraft engine that powered many German fighter aircraft in the first part of World War I. It was a 9-cylinder air-cooled rotary engine, a licence-built copy of the Gnome Delta[1] that Oberursel was producing under licence before the war. It developed 75 kW (100 hp).
