Arado Ar 240C-2 Nightfighter

The development of the multi-role high-performance Ar 240 started in 1938. The new aircraft was destined to be a high-speed destroyer capable of penetrating far into British air space. To achieve this Arado developed a pressurized cabin and also a remote-control defensive weapon.

From 1942 to 1944 various prototypes proved themselves in service as fast reconnaissance planes over Great Britain, the Mediterranean and on the Eastern Front. The V10 received an FuG 202 and was modified so that it could be tested by Arado as a night fighter from October to December 1943. Despite its superior performance on 16.2.1943 development of the Ar 240 was suspended in favour of the Me 410.
