The radial on the FW 190 was built on license from Pratt & Whitney.

No.

FW had built Pratt and Whitney engines under license in the earlier
1930s but BMW 139 and the latter BMW 801 used in the FW 190s were BMW's
own designs, not licensed.



Own designs based on what they learned from the P&W license.


As was the US Space program - and most of the advanced aerodynamics -
based on what you learned from Nazi Germany.
