Ar E.340 Bomber

The Arado E.340 was an unbuilt German proposal submitted for the Bomber B competition around the beginning of the Second World War. Its twin-boom arrangement separated the tail surfaces from a central crew fuselage and reflected the search for a fast replacement for existing medium bombers. The design did not reach operational service. It should be described as a project, with planned features distinguished from capabilities actually demonstrated by flying prototypes. Bomber B sought an aircraft with improved speed, range, and payload relative to the Luftwaffe’s existing bombers. Engine requirements were central to the competition and complicated several contenders. Arado’s unusual arrangement explored one possible response, but paper advantages never matured into a fleet of aircraft available to wartime units.
