The Arado E.654 was a German heavy fighter project by Arado Flugzeugwerke, its design created by Arado's Chief Designer Walter Blume.
Designed by Walter Blume, E.654 used a widened variant on the fuselage of the Arado Ar 240 so that it could mount two DB 614 or DB 627 engines inside the fuselage, similar to the Arado E.561. [1] It had a single vertical tailfin with a tailplane. [2] Like the E.561, it was abandoned due to technical issues with the transmission to the wings.[ citation needed] It used straight wings with tapering on leading and trailing edges. [2] It used three wheels with a tricycle arrangement, all of which could retract into their specific parts of the aircraft. [3] The cockpit was located between the nose, and had two crew members sitting back-to-back. [1]
