The Arado Ar 233 was a 1940s German design for a civil twin-engined amphibian flying boat, developed by Dewoitine in France under the control of Arado Flugzeugwerke.[1]
Design and development
The Ar 233 was a twin-engined flying-boat with room for ten passengers. It would have been powered by either two BMW 323 or BMW 801 engines.[1] A retractable tricycle landing gear would have allowed amphibious operation.[1] A mockup was completed by Dewoitine in German-occupied France, but the project was abandoned due to the Liberation of France in 1944.
