(1:285) Arado Ar E.381 III

  In late 1944, Arado submitted their E.381 parasite miniature fighter to the RLM (German Air Ministry).  some of the other parasite fighters included the Messerschmitt Me P.1103/I , P.1103/II , P.1104/I , P.1104/II , Sombold So 344 and the Zeppelin "Rammer" . The Ar E.381 went through several different designs, each improving on the last.  All versions were basically an armored tube with a small Walter 509B rocket engine providing limited power, and all versions were to glide to the ground and land on a landing skid and slowed by a deployed drag parachute. Also, all versions of the Arado Ar E.381 were to be carried beneath an Arado Ar 234C-3 4-jet bomber.
