Arado Ar.67

Good morning. Today we bring you another Arado airplane, this time it's a prototype.

The Arado Ar.67 was a single seat German biplane fighter of the 1930s that was intended to be the successor to the Ar.65.

It was smaller than the Ar.65 and was powered by the 640hp Rolls-Royce Kestrel VI 12-cylinder liquid cooled engine. It featured a welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings as well as fabric and plywood skinning. It was to be armed with a pair of 7,9mm MG 17 machine guns, but the development was cancelled in favour of the Ar.68, after the Ar.67 was flown for the first time in late autumn 1933.

The initial idea when this airplane was designed was to create a design which could improve the spin recovery.
