For the Prussian/German landowning classes, see "junker".

The name Junkers is well known in connection with aircraft, which were produced under this name for the Luftwaffe during World War II. In particular the Ju 87 Stuka and Ju 52 Tante Ju were common symbols of the Nazi war machine. By this time, however, the Nazi government had already seized control of the business, and Hugo Junkers himself was dead.

Junkers also ran an engine factory, and in 1923 they separated it out to form its own company, Junkers Motoren, or Jumo. Perhaps unsurprisingly their Jumo 211 tended to be used in their own bombers, but their later Jumo 213 was used in a number of fighter and bomber projects, and their Jumo 004 jet engine was the first to be considered production quality and used in the Me 262 jet fighter.
