Germany's Delta-Wing Jet Bomber: Arado E.555

In this video, we discuss the Arado E.555, a proposed long-range jet bomber that was later integrated into the Amerikabomber project. We discuss the manufacturer, Arado, their lesser role early in the war, and their innovative designs later in the war. We also discuss the numerous proposed variants of the E.555 and why none of them, including the original model, amounted to more than anything but schematic drawings.

Sorry but it’s pronounced „Arado“ in Germany with an R. (German speaker) (although it is a Spanish name meaning „plow“)

[@biko9824]

The sound of the German R is often made really far back in the throat, and sounds a lot different than the English R, almost a bit like a 'hard' H. So I somewhat understand the confusion.

[@catfishkempster]

@@biko9824 Even so - it doesn't sound like this - it sounds way more like a regular r in English than the "h" sound here as The only Madmac pointed out.

The name Arado comes from the Spanish word arado (plow). It was a trade name for a steel alloy used in shipbuilding. Maybe that's what's confusing Google. But no one in Germany had used the Spanish pronunciation, so it's Arado.

The Arado Ar 234 Jet Bomber, used as a reconnaissance plane was a real issue for the allies, they had no easy way to stop it from taking pictures of the D-Day build up, An extensive dummy force and disinformation campaign was required to counteract the jet. As a Bomber only small target were suitable due to the limited number of sorties that could be carried out

The diagram at 11:05 you show is a list of specifications of the variants 1 through 11: Variants 1-3 experiment with engine configurations ("Verschiedene Triebwerksgliederung") Variants 4-6 experiment with wing angles ("Verschiedene Flügelstreckung") I'm struggling with variant 7 but something to do with weapons ("Waffen...") Variant 8a and 8b experiment with elevators and rudders on two tailbooms ("Mit Leitwerk an 2 Trägern") Variant 9 and 10 seem to do something similar too, metr here probably meaning "metrisch" ("... metr. Leitwerken") Variant 11 changes the main fuselage ("Rumpfflug...ung") 1st row is engines "Triebwerk" 2nd row i'm guessing is takeoff weight in metric tonnes "...Start" 3rd is fuel capacity in metric tonnes "Kraftstoffgewicht" 4th is fuel to weight percentage "Kraftstoffanteil" 5th is the wing area in square meters "Fläche" 6th is the wingspan in meters "Spannweite" 7th, 8th and 9th i don't understand, probably control surface areas in square meters 10th and 11th i have no clue on but they are listed in percentages 12th sounds like maximum altitude in cruise in km "Endhöhe im Reiseflug" 13th looks to me cruising speed in km/h "V->Reise" 14th is cruising speed in Mach "V->Reise/V->Schall" 15th is flight distance/range in km "Flugstrecke" The last line explains Mach at 11km of altitude "V->Schall = 1080km/h in E = 11km" I hoped this helped you out a bit (:

[@bertschi7]

My best guess to the confusion of the 555-11(14) variant is, that there were 2 earlier designs before variant 555-4 from 11:05 , that the variants 555-8a and 555-8b were seen as two seperate ones bringing the total number to 14. Making the 3 variants, 555-6/7/8, from 10:25 actually the variants 555-4/5/6 since their wingspan measurements align with the chart from 11:05 .

[@bertschi7]

The notion that the 555-5 variant was left out due to it having to many 5s is ridiculous, since the german military was very precise when naming their hardware and variants, unlike the american military that named everything under the sun M1/M1A1/M2/M3 ect.

[@williamzk9083]

On the surface one wonders why these get called "Amerika Bombers" because they lacked the required range possibly because this is the best the E.555 proposals could come up with. However I believe all were specified with in flight refueling capability. The distance from Berlin to New York 3,967.53 miles (6,385.12 km). The distance from Brest France to New York is 3,354 miles (5,397 km). Twice this distance would be needed plus about 14% to allow dog leg courses and some penetration plus 10% reserves. That means 12800km from BERLIN NY or 10,800km from BREST-NY. The E.555-6 could fly 7500km and the E.555-11 8000km. The only way would be in flight refueling which could extend range about 33.3% if a buddy aircraft refuels 1/3rd of the way and 66% if rendevous refueling on the way back. Manfred Griehls "Luftwaffe over Amerika" shows the Luftwaffe conducted very succesful in flight refueing testing in 1943 in Hookups between Ju 252 and Ju 290 aircraft. -The Germans did have a practical design the Messerschmitt Me 264. The prototypes with 1350hp Jumo 211F engines barely had the range (essentially lightly armed, with few bombs and inadequate reserves) but as more power became available BMW 801D (1800hp) and the Daimler Benz DB 603L or H with 2400hp the aircraft could lift greater fuel load and get the range needed. These powerfull engines in the 2250hp-2400hp range were becoming available in end 1944 (Jumo 213E, DB603L) -There was a 6 engines version (Me 264/6m or Me 364) with plugs to estend the fuselage and longer span wings that was also designed and could have done the mission on weaker Jumo 211J engines or on the DB603H made up to 17000km in the recon version and 15000 in the bomber version. It was a viable design. There as a Heinkel Jet bomber and the Horton Ho XVIII that might have done the mission, certainly with in flght refueling which was specified.

[@brunoterrosa7465]

The first and only time I ever saw this plane anywhere was in Battle Of Europe, a pc game my father gave to me when I was a kid, some time like 2006 or something like that. It was a secret plane you unlocked whenever you finished the game and it was actually mindblowing. It looked like the 555-1. For some reason this video took me to that moment of finishing the game and going to play the last mission with the Ar555. Good times :)

[@cyberfutur5000]

This may just be the most Kerbal Space program looking plane of the whole war. All 14, or 11, or 10 :) Also since Arado isn't a German word, but just part of the name of a company that doesn't exist anymore. I guess you have seen the pronunciation of the Spanish word instead (wich may or may not be the source of the name, you never know with German company names). Also I'm not sure if the Spanish word would be pronounced that way, but if shown to a German, me for example, and given that the next word in the name is Flugzeugwerke, I'd pronounce it Arado, not Ahado. But although this time it was a swing and a miss, I appreciate the effort. Can't get them all right and your pronunciation of German stuff is way better then most youtube airplane people.

[@TheConeOfSilence]

Good video. The earlier Arado E 555 designs are essentially a flying wing concept. The main danger of flying wing designs is uncontrollable yaw on the tips of the wings which in a tight turn can cause a uncontrollable unrecoverable flat stall and basically aircraft falls to the ground. That's the idea for fitting the extended booms with vertical and horizontal stableisers. Also mounting them further back also helps with low power glide to get extra fuel efficiency and range to help the airct to cross thd Atlantic and increase controlled clime rate in a emergency withou causing a stall.

[@user-en9zo2ol4z]

Surely the details of engine numbers and fuel carried would affect the range and speed, and would have been the drivers of the innovations? It is all very well ridding the design of a heavy and thirsty jet engine, but the lowered thrust and the lack of engines of high reliability would have made any of these craft unlikely, for reasons of engine life, if nothing else. They were not known for their longevity, as much as for their thrust. (which came at the expense of the superior layout) but lacked the needed alloys for reliability and longevity.

Hi. Please don't take too seriously the Google translator, has several flaws. I'm a native Spanish speaker and English is my second language. German pronunciation of the letter "r" is closest to the one of the letter "g" in Spanish, like in the English name "Agatha". The way you are pronouncing it is closer to the letter "j" in Spanish, like in the English word "Handler" which I find utterly incorrect for German.

So why the apparent bhurt Gort? We all know its was a submission to the German Air Ministry in Response to a request for proposals for a long range jet bomber. We all know this but you feel you need to clear things up we all already understand. These proposals are nevertheless very interesting from a technical stand point and historical. The E in the E.550 name stands for "Enwiklungs" or "Development". Had it been selected for funding into production type it would have received a German air ministry number. Something like "Ar 550" (E numbers didn't convert to RLM numbers however). -Flying wings were attractive because they had a low whetted area which kept drag down and helped keep engine ducts and intakes short. They didn't offer higher speed or range but they did offer higher flying. -You can see what Arado has done. They proposed a flying wing. To control risk for the German air ministry they offered an 8 engine Jumo 004 version in case the Jumo 012 or BMW 018 is not available as these engines were in mock up stage at the time (construction of prototypes had commenced) The HeS 011A was bench testing so they offer a 6 engine version of that. In case the RLM is worried about stability they offer two proposals with a tail. In case they didn't like a flying wing they offered a conventional design. -The design was entirely feasible. The vertical tails act as wing fences to combat span wise flow.. -The aircraft completely lacked the range to reach the United States even with a single in flight refueling but it would have dominated Europe, Atlantic shipping and the Soviet Union.

Retreating would have been the best idea. Anything but the Ju 52 which had a poor performance above 200-250 km radius. It was slow and burned a lot of fuel and its short range meant its airfields were in range of Soviet Fighters. Arado 232 millipede transport, Ju 252 anything would have been better. The He 111 was actually the best cargo plane the Germans had. The problem in Stalingrad was the runways or lack thereoff. The Arado E.555 would have been only able to deliver SB Sonder Behelter parachute supply packages from its bomb racks. Certainly possible to make some deliveries especially if a blind bombing system was available. The requirements of 400-600 tons a day just weren't feasible.

Narrator does not speak German ans so has no idea about how to pronounce "Arado". Listen to a German speaker say 'reich', 'recht', 'raus' or 'raum': that is the proper sound, not the American R or certainly not H. Google translate is NOT a credible authority on pronunciation or German words.

I couldn’t watch this because of the absurd pronunciation. There are a million different ways to find the correct pronunciation besides google.

Do NOT trust Google Translate! Open A, and the rest is like English. We who know finds it utterly anoying and disturbing to the whole idea of your video.
