	Arado Ar 234 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arado estimated a maximum speed of 780 km/h (485 mph), an operating altitude of almost 11,000 m (36,000 ft), and a range of 2,000 km (1,250 miles).
		The aircraft is an Ar 234 B-2 bomber varient carring werk nummer (manufacturer's serial number) 140312, and was one of nine Ar 234's surrended to British forces at Sola Airfield near Stavanger, Norway.
		During the early 1950's the Ar 234 was moved to the Smitsonian's facility at Suitland, Maryland for storage, and eventual restoration.

	Arado Ar 234
		The Arado Ar 234 Blitz was the world's first operational jet powered bomber, built by the Arado[?] company in the closing stages of World War II.
		In the field it was used almost entirely in the reconnaissance role, but in its few uses as a bomber it proved to be impossible to intercept.
		Arado estimated a maximum speed of 780km/h (485mph), an operating altitude of almost 11,000m (36,000ft), and a range of 2,000km (1,250 miles).

	The Arado Ar-234
		The Air Ministry wanted a range of 2,150 kilometers (1,340 miles), and so to reduce weight Arado proposed that the E370 would take off on a wheeled tricycle trolley that would be dropped on parachute once the aircraft took to the air.
		Arado projected a maximum speed of 780 KPH (485 MPH), an operating altitude of almost 11,000 meters (36,000 feet), and a maximum range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles).
		Arado also investigated a number of new-design, swept-wing follow-ons to the Ar-234, but since the company was overstretched to get the Ar-234 into production there were no resources to seriously pursue such projects.

	Arado234
		Arado was issued a contract for six prototypes of there E 370 in April 1942, with a further fourteen aircraft in December 1942.
		To achieve this Arado proposed the aircraft would not have a conventional undercarriage, but take off using a three wheeled trolley and land by means of skids, so to making room in the fuselage for the fuel which would be needed.
		At around the same time two Ar 234 prototypes V5 and V7 were sent to the Luftwaffe reconnaissance unit Ob.d.L.1 to evaluate the aircraft in the field, the first operational flight being on the 2/8/1944 with flights over the Allied beachhead in Normandy.

		berkeley, CA The only Arodo 234 left in the world is in excellent restored condition, thanks to Suitland and the men and women who dedicate their lives to restoring aircraft on display, or potentially for display at the Air and Space Museum, which has now for aircraft benn moved to Dulles in Washington DC.

		In 1940 Arado Flugzeugwerke Gmbh began working on a project which was later to become the world's first jet bomber.
		The Luftwaffe also needed a fast bomber and the plans for the Arado 234 were adapted as per request.

	Arado Ar-234, summer 1944: no ordinary missions.
		Le first reconnaissance model of the Arado 234 was not yet equipped with a conventional landing gear.
		Slowly, the Arado accelerates, and the whistling noise produced by the jet engines seems strange to the inhabitants of Juvincourt used to the noise of propeller airplanes.
		Arado (meaning plow in Spanish), was the name chosen for the rebirth of the company in 1925, to keep the philosophy of the naval yards; "the plower of the seas", and also to designate their seaplanes.

	Hasegawa Ar 234 B "Blitz"
		As the Mossie prototype took to the air in November 1940, the Arado Flugzeugwerke undertook a project at the request of the Reichsluftfhartministerium (RLM) to produce an aircraft with an intended purpose quite similar to that of the Mossie; an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft that was capable of avoiding interception because of its speed.

		The Arado 234 a single seat aircraft with an unswept shoulder mounted wing, an all-around vision cockpit, and two jet engines.
		Since the Ar 234 usually carried a single 500kg and no more than a couple of dozen flew on any mission, its effectiveness as a bomber proved to be limited.
		The Arado 234 was also considered as use as a night fighter.

		The Arado’s were first flown to Schleswig in Germany and from there flown to Farnborough with a possible stop at Melsbroek in Belgium, if the weather dictated this.
		The plane was an ex-KG 76 Arado Ar 234 with the werknummer 140596.
		It was established that it was not possible for the Ar 234 to leave the same way as it had come so it was decided to dismantle the aircraft and transport it by truck.

	Arado Ar 234B-2 Blitz
		Although Arado completed the Ar 234 V1 airframe in late 1942, the Messerschmitt aircraft took priority and claimed the trickle of flight-ready engines that Junkers managed to turn out.
		Prototypes for the more advanced Ar 234 D reconnaissance aircraft and bomber with provision for a second crewman were under construction but not completed at war's end.
		Because all of the original German paint was stripped off the airframe before the aircraft's transfer to the Smithsonian, restoration specialists applied markings of a typical aircraft of 8./KG 76, the first bomber unit to fly the Blitz.

	The Arado Ar-234
		The E370 was to be a sleek, high-winged aircraft with a pair of Junkers Jumo 004 turbojets, one under each wing.
		The Air Ministry wanted a range of 2,150 kilometers (1,340 miles), and so to reduce weight, Arado proposed that the E370 would take off on a wheeled tricycle trolley that would be dropped on five parachutes take-off.
		While the "Big Week" raids had spared Arado production facilities, as they were too far east and out of range, the following reshuffling and dispersal of production meant that resources originally planned for building new types of aircraft had to be reserved for manufacturing existing types.

		Their Ar 234 had just made its first flight a couple of months earlier, and the Arado designers wanted to come up with a new design for a multirole aircraft.
		Due to the Arado 234 production and success, and the fact that the Messerschmitt Me 262 was already coming into production at the same time, this Arado design was not pursued.

		The Arado Ar-234 was the first purpose-built jet bomber.
		Although the prototypes were completed largely by the end of 1941, delays in the supply of the engines meant that it was not until July 1943 that the type first flew.
		Aimed specifically at the aviation modeler and those interested in the history of the Luftwaffe, this first volume gets the new Military Aircraft in Detail series off to a good start and adds greatly to our knowledge of one of the most advanced aircraft which saw service during World War II.

		The German Arado 234 was the very first purpose-built jet bomber.
		The Ar-234 was originally conceived in early 1941 by an engineering team under Professor Walter Blume, director of the Arado aircraft company.
		The Air Ministry wanted a range of 2,150 kilometers (1,340 miles), and so to reduce weight, Arado proposed that the E370 would take off on a wheeled tricycle trolley that would be left behind after take-off, and land on skids at the end of the flight.
