The Arado E.560 was a series of multi-engined Arado medium-range tactical bombers projected during the Second World War.^[1]

The Arado E.560 designs were part of the propaganda-based Wunderwaffe concept. None of the projected bombers were built, as the project took place near the end of the Third Reich and was terminated by the end of the war in Europe.^[2]

History

The Arado E.560 designs were a development based on the Arado 234, and they share some characteristics with that plane.

Only five designs of Ar E.560 variants have survived; the remaining are unknown. Except for two variants which were propeller-driven aircraft, the other three E.560 designs were to have been powered by turbojets. They were all equipped with retractable tricycle undercarriage.^[3]

Variants

All of the Arado E.560 variants had a pressurized cockpit for a crew of two, located at the front end of the fuselage.^[1]
