Henkel's 001 engine was dropped by the RLM because it only produced about 900 lbs of thrust and their improved 011 in development looked a lot better. This is a case where the RLM didn't want "good enough" and went for "much better" even at the expense of waiting a couple of years to get it.Junkers had ZERO steam turbine experience. They were an aircraft engine manufacturer. They didn't build steam turbines for the civilian economy or for use in ships. They, like other German manufacturers of jet engines either developed their own data or relied on outside companies like Brown-Boveri for data.The Jumo 004 (the engine on the 262) had a compressor section designed by Aerodynamische Versuchsanastalt (AVA) and Allgemeine Elektrizatasgesellschaft (AEG). The latter is a German steam turbine manufacturer for both the electrical generation and shipbuilding industry. Junkers though had no in-house experience.
