Arado Ar TEW 16/43-19


In August
1943, the Arado
design
department finished
a study on the
further development of
a fast two-seat
jet powered
aircraft. 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.
The TEW 16/43-19 was
a mid-wing
monoplane,
constructed entirely
of metal. There were two jet engines mounted below the sweptback wings, in the 1500 kg (3300 lbs) thrust
range. A single fin and rudder was fitted, and the tailplanes also had sweepback. The cockpit was located in
the extreme fuselage nose, and held two men sitting back to back. It was very reminiscent of the earlier Arado
240 forward fuselage and cockpit. The undercarriage was to be a tricycle type, and all wheels were single
tired. Five different versions were envisioned:

● Schnellbomber (High-speed bomber)


● Zerstörer (Destroyer)
● Nachtjäger (Night Fighter)
● Schlechtwetterjäger (Bad weather fighter)
● Aufklärer (Reconnaissance)

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.
