ARADO Ar.E 555 Bomber

In the middle of 1944 the Imperial Air Ministry awarded a contract for the construction of a Flying-wing, long-range, high speed bomber capable of carrying a 4,000 kg bomb load.

Attacks on the USA were to be undertaken using this bomber during World War 2. In its basic design the Ar/E 555 was a first generation Stealth Aircraft. Powered by six BMW 109-003A engines, the Ar/E 555 could have reached a top speed of 860 km/h. At the end of December 1944 all further work on the Ar/E 555 was stopped by order of the Imperial Air Ministry due to the lack of raw materials caused by the War.
