Arado TEW 16/43-13

In the summer of 1943 the design department of Arado completed an extensive study about the development of jet fighters and the designer Wilhelm van Nes presented three designs a twin-jet one, a rocket powered one and a mixed rocket/jet one.

This desing was a conventional looking low swept-wing with slight dihedral fixed to the fuselage. The pilot seated in the frontern part of the fuselage which was caped in the nose with an aerodinamical cone.
It was designed to carry as much fuel as possible containing the famous T-Stoff and C-Stoff propellants. It was going to be powered by a single Walter HWK 509A which could deliver an adjustable thrust from 1Kn to 15.7Kn. positioned at the back of the fuselage. It had a single tail and an horizontal wings with swept surfaces. It was going to be armed with a pair of 20mm MG151 and another pair of 30mm MK108 cannons, all of them placed under the cockpit, in the fuselage nose. It was spaced in pairs to either side and below the cockpit.
Undercarriage was completely retractable in a tricycle arrangement with two main wheels located at the back and the auxiliar one at the nose. This particular arrangement was revolutionary for it's time because it helped saving a lot of space.
