| Barry, 05.01.2010 This aircraft was built to a specification which also included Henschel Hs126,Blomm und Voss Ha141 and the Focke Wulf FW189. The Blomm und Voss and Focke Wulf aircraft had the extended specification of multi purpose plane put to the fore whereas Arado and Henshel had to stick to the requirement of short range reconnaissance. Henshel was well into production while Arado were still in development of their more complex plane and it was for this reason coupled to the already over burdened production commitments being experienced by Arado that the Technishe Amt cancelled the plane. On the contrary to what is noted the Ar198 had good handling and performance and was very much apprechiated by all those that flew in it.
Michael Friedrich there a lot more Arado aircraft missing from this list than the Ar199! |
