The Arado Ar Projekt II was a German jet night fighter project of Arado Flugzeugwerke, which was undertaken in March 1945.

Design

The designs marked that the aircraft would contain two crew, and had ejector seats. It had 35 degree swept wings, and two HeS 011 or BMW 003-A engines underneath. It also had four nose-mounted MK108 cannon.

This design was based on the successful Ar 234 and was therefore ready for serial production in the shortest possible time, however could not start due to the end of the war. [1]

The Arado Ar 240 was a German twin-engine, multi-role heavy fighter aircraft, developed for the Luftwaffe during World War II by Arado Flugzeugwerke. Its first flight was in 1940, but problems with the design hampered development, and it remained only marginally stable throughout the prototype phase. The project was eventually cancelled, with the existing airframes used for a variety of test purposes.

The Arado Ar 232 Tausendfüßler, sometimes also called Tatzelwurm, was a cargo aircraft that was designed and produced in small numbers by the German aircraft manufacturer Arado Flugzeugwerke. It was designed during the first half of the Second World War in response to a request by the Reichsluftfahrtministerium for a successor or supplemental transport aircraft to the Luftwaffe's obsolescent Junkers Ju 52/3m. The Ar 232 introduced, or brought together, almost all of the features now considered to be standard in modern cargo transport aircraft designs, including a box-like fuselage slung beneath a high wing; a rear loading ramp, a high-mounted twin tail for easy access to the hold and features for operating from rough fields. It was initially requested to be powered by a pair of BMW 801A/B radial engines, however, an alternative arrangement of four BMW Bramo 323 engines was adopted instead due to a lack of capacity.
