Arado 234 Blitz Luftwaffe jet bomber of ww2

- Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2009
- The Arado Ar 234 was the world's first operational jet powered bomber, built by the German Arado company in the closing stages of World War II. In the field it was used almost entirely in the reconnaissance role, but in its few uses as a bomber it proved to be nearly impossible to intercept. Twin-engined and single seater, was produced in limited numbers. It was the last Luftwaffe plane to fly over England, in April 1945. [1]
It is commonly known as Blitz ("lightning"), though this name refers only to the B-2 bomber variant, and it is not clear whether it was ever formally applied instead of being derived from the informal term Blitz-Bomber (roughly, "very fast bomber"). The alternate name Hecht ("pike") is derived from one of the units equipped with this plane, Sonderkommando Hecht. The Ar 234 (and the Messerschmitt Me 262) showed in which direction plane technique should develop. [2].

Mate, the 262 was over a HUNDRED miles an hour faster than the P.51D
I was very lucky, as I got to sit in the cockpit of the one rebuilt for the Smithsonian Air and Space where it was rebuilt in Maryland.
What an amazing aircraft.
I just bought a 1:48 scale model of the AR-234 B-2. Its pretty detailed and will look nice alongside my 2 Me-262s, Bf-109 and the FW-190d9 (and luftwaffe ground grew). I also have a 48 scale gloster meteor F.Mk.1 with V1 rocket and launch rack. All are Tamiyas except for the 234 which is by Revell.
The four engine variant was powered by BMW engines not Junker Jumo engines. The reason for the change, the Luftwaffe wanted the limited supply of Jumo for the Me-262. The four BMW engines also provided more thrust.
Oh how much I love the German innovative planes of WW2 !!! Germans were brilliant, decades ahead of their time!
if the Germans have not thought of it then it is not worth inventing
Yet for all of their brilliance, they lacked common sense. Constantly changing and improving things. They never grasped the concept of simplicity which is one of the main reasons they lost the war.
HDaviator I agree with you in parts, the Germans are a poor example of this method because they never had even near the industrial power of the allies, so it should be them the ones mass producing optimized cheap equipment, not their enemies. Their obccession with quality was no match for their industries. but the method overall works if you have a similar industrial output as of your enemy. Hence the reason the us started adopting this "method" right after the war.
soaringtractor I'm guessing you posted this in the wrong comment section
Yes they were, at least in fighter technology. And apparently you don't even know when WW2 started, or ended. XD
One never stops becoming so surprised - almost in disbelief - when seeing the fabulous amount of Wonder Weapons , decades ahead of their time, that the German engineers and technicians came up with in every field of weaponry : at sea, on the ground, in the air ! They completely revolutionized the construction of submarines, tanks, jet planes, rockets, guided missiles, even flying-saucer like machines....you name them ! When you get the whole picture of all the Wonder Weapons Germany was getting completely developed and operational by April '45, you realize how close they were to turning the tide and winning the war by a hair's width ! The Allies were more than lucky, no doubt.
All their wonder weapons could never turn the tide. What the Germans needed most of all was time, and there wasn't enough.
Pedro Lista Carey The allies got lucky? BULLSHIT. Germany doomed itself by attacking russia. After stalingrad and kursk they were fighting a lost war. The allies had both air and sea superity almost everywhere, the ‘wonder weapons’ didnt do shit. What you need to win a war is a mix of enough manpower, enough materials and a good strategy. Germany lacked manpower and materials. They didnt have a chance to win a long war, at first they had the advantage on their side mostly but then everything turned around. They started retreating, didnt have oil, their tanks were breaking down all the time, didnt have air superiority in most sectors and absolutely no sea superiority anywhere. You must be joking by saying the allies got lucky

Innovative for sure, but you can see it was really a roll of the dice due to desperation and none of them were very effective for the cost given the limited development time available. The Allies came up with probably more practical war winning innovations such as the proximity fuse, effective sonar, much more advanced cryptography.. and the ultimate game changer that would decide the war no matter anything else that happened - atomic weapons.
your sort of right......the missile was a "Fritz - X" radio-guided bomb dropped from a bomber (not an Ar234) ...it sank the ship
The Arado 234 was ahead of it's time. The American XB-48 jet bomber was basically a replica of the 234, but with 6 engines in pairs of 3 on each wing.
Wait. You mean to tell me Germany was developing a jet bomber also? They were so far ahead of their time with military technology.
Not really. The Allies had plenty of jet projects of their own in train.
@@thethirdman225 just on papers, Germans are worlds first and operated it in real time battle.

A vid is worth a thousand pics... thanks for this 👍✈️
A few hundred of these and few hundred of the 262s with fuel and trained crews and it could have been a much different war. Amazing technology.
germany got the technology, allies got the numbers
Actually, eraly i the war Germany also had the numbers - hece the successes (same is true about Japan).
Later, when the supply situation turned aound - agai those who had the numbers where on top. Wanna win a war? Get your supply sorted out. Technology won't help.
6.000 Tiger Tanks vs. 60.000 T-34s. There you have it.
Actually 1,353 Tigers were made
You probably mean Panther. The Germans did build 6.000 Panthers and far less Tigers
PowderedMonkey Exactly! According to Martin van Crefeld a double superiority in quality is equalized by the 4fold in quantity = GER vs ROW

Very interesting. Thank you. My understanding was that the four engine version was powered by BMW engines due a shortage of the Junkers JUMO 004. The usually brilliant German engineers showed little imagination in designing the undercarriage. Compare this to the B 47 landing gear. An even better solution would have been to rotate the gear 90 degrees prior to retraction, thus enabling internal storage with a wider track.
Great Video! Thanks...
Landing the Ar-234 on an attached trolley was 'decidedly unpleasant'. You can't get more British than that.
The ME262 was not a dog fighter but an interceptor. It's advantage was pure speed, not agility or acceleration. Most of the ME 262's were destroyed while taking off or landing, not during attacks. The biggest problem for the ME262 was the lack of skilled pilots and jet fuel
Great photos!
My neighbor shot down an Arado A234 in WW2. He was flying a P-47. He only had three kills, a 109, a two engine transport, and the Arado.
Not according to the material i have read, the Manhattan project was working flat out and had difficulty supplying the Uranium for the first device. Where di you read this I'm curious.
Over North Italy and Normanby in 1944 these Arado 234 gave the Nazi generals U2 level reconaiissance of the future battlefield and the German optics and cameras gave Guderain and Rommel an mindblowing class blade level view of the future battlefield. The key point is that Ultra, RAF reconaissance and French resistance didn't give Churchill and Eisinhower much of a view. They simply didn't know they would be advancing into most trecherous killing ground in which defenders had total cover and would have been terrible killing ground in the French revolutionary wars
Despite those advantages the Germans got hammered , lack of everything but bravery and a few exotic toys did them in.
sehr gut
Tangles I believ this is correct of you. The Meteor wasnt deployed in Europe deliberately. Hence we never saw the face off with the 262.....which was quicker than the 234....Interesting that the Ho229 DID end up at the RAE briefly and the britz did attempt to retro fit it with their centrifugal motors..it did work so it went to the states.....shame they didnk keep in there....
man the nazis got all the good S**t god danget
Perhaps you should read what Goering had to say about the de Havilland Mosquito.
Jet fuel wasn't a problem, its much easier to aquire than the specialist and expensive piston engine fuel. Surprising but true. The germans even designed a coal powered jet...
Jets were multi fuel engines.
The difference was that the British Derwent engines were centrifugal flow and quite robust but the German engines were the modern axial flow design, fragile then hence low time life.
My information is, that the takeoff with trolley attached was an accident and not intended.
The ME262's were destroyed while taking off or landing. Very few were actually destroyed during attacks on the bombers themselves.
Aside from the politics of war. You have to admit it, both sides made some marvellous aircraft.
so advanced but you have to take off on an apple cart lol
Good video.
The idea is good, a bomber whose best defence is speed rather than-unuseful- gun machines,but in order to achieve enough range Ar234 needed so much fuel that there was nearly no room for ammunition
impressive !
The British jet engines were better. Even Adolf Galland admitted that after the war when he flew Gloster Meteors in Argentine.
Btw, the British were arguably leading the world in transonic research and came up with several discoveries which they used on the Miles M.52 protype supersonic aircraft. Much of the data was given to Bell aircraft in the USA which made the Bell X-1 rocket which went supersonic in 1947 with Yeager.
It's not that black and white you seem to think it is.

In an escort role, for which the P-51D was designed, it would have been able to protect bomber formations from ME-262s because of the lower speed needed to attack bombers in formations. In dogfighting, most advantages were with the ME-262 but the US had far better pilots, especially near the end of the war when the Luftwaffe was short of good pilots. This helped make the odds a little better for the P-51D, which actually shot down quite a few ME-262s.
"The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II, A Collection of Primary Sources". National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 162. George Washington University.Aug 13,1945.
The US expected to have another atomic bomb ready for use on 19 Aug, with three more in Sept and a further three in Oct.Two more Fat Man assemblies were readied. The 3rd core was scheduled to leave Kirtland Field for Tinian on 12 Aug. When the Japanese initiated surrender negotiations, these shipments suspended.
actually...................... the Ar 234 prototypes DID have a trolley!! and in fact the first operational use of the Ar234 was used with a prototype using the trolley... first ever jet photo reconnisance mission over the normany beach heads
War thunder ? anyone ?
nope...
Yes
ARADO AKBAR
Yes, it was faster, but not as maneuverable and the P-51 had a far greater range. The ME 262s required frequent refueling and were vulnerable to attack at landing and take off speed. Also, the ME-262 were only able to reach top speed in a flat out straight run. Germany was never able to mass produce enough of them AND they came too late in the war to make much difference.
Several ME-262s were shot down by P-51s.
And vice-versa
pretty much all of the kills are where the me262 was going for landing. Also to add the aircraft was not a good dogfighter it was more suited to bomber interception and possible hit and run attacks because of its high speed. The terrible turn speed left it vulnerable at low speeds.
Why would anyone plunder German offices for the plans of an aircraft that took off mounted on an old pram and landed on a skid? The fact nothing like it was ever repeated suggested it was another German flop.
11years👍
I know!!
Miles later revealed that everything they knew they gleaned from captures German research
True
However most of the German tank divisions were on the Eastern Front throughout the war and most of them got destroyed there too.Kursk in 1943 was the biggest tank battle of the war and remained the biggest until the invasion of Iraq in 1991.
The USSR produced the most tanks by far and stood for the majority of Panzer IV, Panther and Tiger kills
On the western front tank divisions were far too few and often lacked fuel (which went to those in the east).Allied attack planes destroyed them
The battle of kursk
Other problems:
1) Flame outs.
2) Expensive to maintain.
3) Too few produced
4) Came too late in the war.
Germany never was able to mass-produce the quantities of jets needed to stop an allied attack. Besides, had Germany not surrendered and had the atomic bomb been used on Berlin, the US would have probably sent over huge armadas of bombers, all of which but one carried an atomic bomb. Germany would therefore not have know which bomber carried the A BOMB. Besides, the P-51 with the Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 came close to the speed of an ME-262 but was far more maneuverable making int a close match.
Gostaria de ser dono de um desses aviões!

Perhaps German engineers did use the philosophy K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple and Stpid).
Quote.."There was much about the M52 that came from the advanced German research into transonic flight". Eric Brown was the highly experienced project test pilot who can....
Obviously the human tragedies of WW2 come first. but I think it is a great shame that Germany wasn't in the military aviation industry game for a few decades after the war, when they were one of the biggest innovators during it.
They sort of were in that the scientists were poached by the USA hence the Northrop flying wings etc
Они участвовали по всему миру своими разработками, чертежами военного времени и учёными

Wow people nitpicking the problems of the late war German planes, as if the Allies could even get close, the Germans made utterly revolutionary technology it was obvious there were going to be problems, it doesn't matter that they didn't have much of an effect they were still a decade ahead of the Allies.
They were not decades ahead,the most advanced weapon of the war was the atomic bomb. Germany became leaders in jet aviation because they had too It's not as if the allies couldn't if they wanted too. Mustangs was not the wars most advanced fighter but it was very good and most importantly could get to the fight with enough fuel to stay and fight. Same way with tanks. Once they got most of the bugs ironed out the panther was probably the best tank but the were thousands of very good Shermans and T-34s to every panther.With the technology of the time the V-2 was never going to be anything except a terror weapon,Too inaccurate with a too small payload.No one can get in Hitlers head and ask what were you thinking . Germany was already losing in the Soviet Union when he declared war on the US. Taking on the largest country on earth while also taking on the worlds largest economy and having no effective way to limit either's war effort? Hitler sealed Germany doom. No matter what wonder weapons he had the allies could have fielded similar weapons or countered them
@@johnkendall6962 Lets not forget that the Brits were only very slightly behind the Germans with adding a jet engine to a fighter.

Germany also had a nucler program going on. It just wasn't finished because of the allies' cripping of German industry. And America pretty much already was in state of war with Germany.
It makes one wonder what the Germans could have achieved had WWII not occurred? My guess is that they would have successfully sent astronauts to the Moon by the early 1960s! And Mars by 1980.
I think it goes, Russia had the most men, Germany had the best science, Britain had the best engineers & designers and america had the most factories.
'british engineers' is an oxymoron.
Thank you Germany for the inventions!
Which ones?
@@thethirdman225 jet aircraft radars and engines
@@Crispy_Crisp
*_"jet aircraft radars and engines"_*
These were also British inventions. Just because America didn't have them doesn't mean they must have been invented by the Germans.
A workable military radar was developed by Tizard and Watson-Watt in England in the 1930s and the British were smart enough to utilise it to great advantage in the Battle of Britain. They had a coherent radar network well before anyone else, including the Germans and the Americans
In fact, if the Americans had actually trusted radar some of the effects of the Pearl Harbour raids might have been ameliorated..
The British also fitted airborne radars to fighter aircraft before anyone else (1941, from memory).
An while Whittle's jet engine didn't have the long term potential of von Ohain's engine, it was 1) good enough for the time and 2) good enough for the USA to copy it.
@@Crispy_Crisp By the way, the British were _forced_ to give the H2S ground navigation radar to the Americans, who then made their own version called H2X so they could claim it as their own.
@@thethirdman225 dont act like the germans didnt have planes with radars also god damn you dont have to write a mini essay also it was heinrich hertz and christian hülsmeyer that made the radar

Yes, it was faster but much less maneuverable and the P-51s had far greater range. The ME-262 had to jettison it landing gear on take off and landed without landed gear, mostly on grass fields and at lower approach speeds were vulnerable to attack. The US mass-produced the P-51; Germany was never able to mass produce the ME-262; it also suffered from flame-outs. The ME-262 came too late in the war and in too small of numbers to effect the outcome.
You're thinking of the Arado 234 or
the Me-163 Komet. Me-262s had
retractable landing-gear.
How many of todays fighters or even jets use the (centrifugal) whittle design? The book "Miles.M52" tells all how the captured German research into supersonic flight pathed the way for others to follow. The Germans already had vast experience in supersonic flight trying to keep their V2's airframes from failing at high speeds.
Centrifugal compressors are very common today but not in fighter engines. They are extremely widely used in turboprop and turboshaft engines, as well as smaller engines for bizjets. They were a major factor in the Korean War, powering the MiG-15.

Germans were the top technological leaders, unfortunately (fortunately) too late.
Churchill was right to be concerned about landing , even in 1944 in Normanby given the French resistance had probably not be accident not informed Churchill of the trecherous killing ground he was taking them into. There was little French resistance, Nancy Wake is a marginal on the fringes of South France?Spain. Resistance against the SS was unwise and there whole point was to be so good looking and intelligent that every women from 15 to 35 would drop her britches immediately which is pretty much what happened the main aim being to convert France into Germany and more than the EEC is the cause of peace in Europe subsquently. As far as the females were concertned ti was usuallt total verbal collabaration which is Ramplings point.
Eric Brown was way too cosy with the Luftwaffe..Having read "Wedded to the German Luftwaffe" by Major John Teichert (USAF ret)....Brown's enduring association with the Luftwaffe post war lead me to think he demonstrates a bias in his opinion of Luftwaffe aircraft
Sounds more like your anti-German bias.
Unfortuntely all of this technology was pattent pending...if not germany should be richer
France is a very difficulty country. You have to speak the lingo as well as they do to understand them and if you have a different script like the Russians you have to have their sort of mind, France was not much of an ally of Britain . They fought like Fury as soon as they realised the main German war aim was to bed every French good looking woman, But they were not much interested in staying in Britain and rpreferred Nazi occupied France even though most French women inclined to total horizontal collabaraton. It is said that Churchill was first supported by the Tory Party the day out of necessity he smashed the French fleet, and not for the supposed reasons. Ultra failed to reveal the V2 Mach 6 missiles that hit London or much about the killing ground they would be going into to. The resistance would have no more than the minimum to be appear to be supportive in most cases.

Yes, allied bombing (mostly US) and air strikes decimated oil/gas production in Germany (and Japan) during WW2
How did they not take england
They were scared of our teeth!
grrr
They had little hope of invading the UK.
But the US and its allies far outproduced Germany in war production. In general, even though the Panzer and Tiger tanks had more armor and firepower than the best Sherman, the Sherman was far more maneuverable, far cheaper to produce and maintain, and much less complicated to work on. It was produced in far greater numbers than any German tank. The Pershing was basically a match for the best German tank of WW2, but it came late in the war.
You are comparing a super heavy tank to a medium tank.

The germans need to be recognized for their advanced weaponary during ww2. They had the most advanced weapons

Not true, a Brit and a German were developing the turbo jet engine at the same time in different countries. The Brits patented it first, but the Germans were the first to stick it in an air frame. The Americans had a working jet engine by 1939, but the idiots in charge decided it was not to be further developed. The Germans were and are fine Engineers and craftsmen, but they were not the only ones.

The arado 555 is most incredible. Airbus copy this plane for passengers
British supercharger and radar were superior to German ones. These abilitiy controled the war situation. So German had no choice but to develop new weapons like Arado 234.
Also having access to high octane fuel from the US was a big asset for the RAF fighters. The Germans had no high octane fuel for much of the war. One of the many benefits of their jet aircraft is that they didn't need high octane fuel to achieve peak performance.

Although the US invented nuclear bombs, they couldn't make much of those by lack of Plutonium and Uranium-235. Let alone drop such a bomb on Berlin if the luftwaffe controlled the skies with jets...
The US did _NOT_ “invent” the atomic bomb. It was developed in the United States for two reasons: first that the US had the resources and industry available and secondly because it was out of bombing range. Almost all the scientists on the Manhattan Project were “imports”.
The Luftwaffe was never even close to controlling the skies over Berlin with jets.
@@thethirdman225 The US is a nation of "imports" and we made the best use of them. So, we did develop the first atomic bombs.

It couldn't have happened if that Britisher Chadwick hadn't discovered the neutron. Then there was Hahn, the German who developed the experiment that Austrian Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch used to prove the theory of nuclear fission. That, of course came from that German Albert Einstein and was based on the work of that eminent New Zealander Ernest Rutherford.

Like all modern planes? it had more to do with Germany's cripped industrial capacity.
@@MrSomebodyyyy No, it was a poor design choice that never had a chance to become an effective weapons platform. The engine life was never going to change given the lack of and shrinking materials base. They were never going to be able to make many of them and they needed lots of defense around the airfields because of their operational requirements. You can see the aspect of this in the desire to have a jet operate off unmade fields - they could not defend the bases effectively without huge expenditure of AA etc

lol,.. The Manhattan Project had the capabilities of producing several atomic bombs per month after the initial bombs dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. As early as 1944' the luftwaffe had lost air superiority over not just Berlin but all of NW europe.
The introduction of Me 262 did not have any effect the allied ground war except in your fantasy.
Why would the US target Berlin for a atomic bomb since it had already been decided at Yalta that Berlin would be liberated by the Soviets?

Sorry dont buy it, so an Arado flying over the UK would not be intercepted by a Meteor because.... keep the excuses coming.

Germany First.
The truth is forever the truth. My parents where spies. The Arado was immune from interception. Therefore, in April of ‘45 my mother sabotage the first and second Arado’s carrying Germany’s nuclear bomb‘s. After the worlds first successful A-bomb test the Arado crashed. The surviving flight crew was debriefed by my father who informed General Eisenhower and Roosevelt that Germany had successfully tested their A-bomb. Upon takeoff, the second A-bomb carrying Arado crashed on its way to Antwerp, Belgium to destroy the Redball express supply line. Cutting off all fuel, ammo and food to US troops would have instantaneously change the course of the war.
I bet the easter bunny told you this. Germany didn't even come close to developing an atomic bomb. Even the US with it's wealth and resources took 4 years and they were not being bombed around the clock The only reason that the soviets caught up so quick was stolen plans not captured German scientists
You wanna say that germany had the first atomic bomb?!
I dont believe.
1946 they had one, but they lost bevore. And if they had one in 1946 it wouldnt be carried by the arado blitz, it woul be carried by the horten ho18, and then world war would have another direction. Because in 1946 germany would have the ho 229 in fight, and panthers and more me 262 and......
For luck we lost the war 1945. But its bad for technology.
