Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Junkers A50 Junior

The A50 and A50be commonly used the Armstrong Siddeley Genet radial engine rated at approximately 59 kW, while the A50ba incorporated a Walter Vega radial engine rated at 63 kW. The A50ce and A50ci introduced folding wing capability for easier storage and transport, with the A50ci fitted with a Siemens Halske Sh 13 radial engine rated at 65 kW.
