Arado Flugzeugwerke : Aircraft and Development History

Founded in 1925 in Warnemünde, Arado-Flugzeugwerke, from the outset, produced civil aircraft as well as developing prototypes for the clandestine armament programme of the Reichswehr.
From 1933 when the licensed production of military aircraft commenced, the factory also built a number of their own designs. Best known are the training aircraft Ar 66 and Ar 96, the catapult float-plane Ar 196 and the record-breaking sporting aircraft Ar 79.
With the two- or four-engined Ar 234, the world's first operational jet-bomber was born. At the end of the war Arado initiated the project of the first supersonic experimental aircraft.

This book charts the development of all Arado aircraft between 1925 and 1945 as well as the development and capabilities of the factory. It also gives an overview of the licence-productions and other projects. The information is based on original documents and will rectify some of the speculation and fantasy that has been published about the Arado-Flugzeugwerke.

Arado - seit 1925 (Typen-Kompass)

Der 1925 entstandene Hersteller Arado baute anfangs nur zivile Flugzeuge, begann jedoch bald auch mit dem Entwurf militärischer Muster. Zunächst mussten diese noch im Geheimen erprobt werden, doch entstanden so die ersten Serienjäger der neuen Luftwaffe und die Ar 196 wurde zum meistgebauten deutschen Schwimmerflugzeug.
Während des Krieges gelangen Arado einige bahnbrechende Entwicklungen, die ihrer Zeit technisch weit voraus waren. Dazu zählten das zu seiner Zeit schnellste zweimotorige Kampflugzeug, die Ar 240, der erste echte Kampfzonentransporter der Welt, die Ar 232, sowie der weltweit erste Strahlbomber, die Ar 234.

Das große Bordflugzeug - Arado Ar 95 und Heinkel He 114

In der Weimarer Republik entstanden richtungsweisende Schiffs-Konstruktionen für die Reichsmarine, die über Katapulte für den Einsatz von Bordaufklärungsflugzeugen verfügten. Nach dem Doppeldecker Heinkel He 60 nutzte man kurz die Arado Ar 95 und die Heinkel He 114, die auf der Ausschreibung für ein großes Bordflugzeug basierten.
Weil beide enttäuschten, schrieb das Reichsluftfahrministerium das "Bordflugzeug 1936" aus, und beschaffte schließlich die Arado Ar 196.

Die im Helios-Verlag erschienenen Monografien zur He 60 und zur Ar 196 gelten international als Standardwerke. Die vorliegende Monografie zu den Mustern Ar 95 und He 114 schließt die Entwicklungsgeschichte der Bordflugzeuge bei der Kriegsmarine mit weitgehend unveröffentlichtem Bildmaterial und seltenen technischen Zeichnungen ab.
