Ar.234 is a jet bomber built by Germany during World War II, and it was the world's first manned jet aircraft in actual combat. At that time, Germany issued a bid for a fast jet reconnaissance aircraft, but no company was willing to make this type of aircraft. Only a small company, Arado, was willing to develop it. Many German pilots had not even heard of this company, which mainly produced carrier based reconnaissance aircraft and seaplanes during World War II. Ar.234 adopts many innovative technologies and is the world's first aircraft equipped with a speed parachute, as well as the world's first aircraft equipped with ejection seats. At that time, jet engine technology was not yet mature and fuel consumption was high. In order to reduce weight and increase fuel consumption, she initially used a sliding landing gear, which was placed on a detachable landing gear during takeoff. However, sliding landing was very difficult and dangerous, so engineers had to switch back to the first three-point landing gear; In order to further reduce weight, his team and weapons were minimal, with most models having only one member to drive, and even prototypes not equipped with weapons. At the time, advanced avionics systems could assist pilots in long-range missions. Thanks to two jet engines, her top speed exceeded 800 km/h, making it difficult for any Allied aircraft to catch up with her (in SP, as long as you are proficient in operation, you can dodge missiles). At first, as a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, she was later identified as a high-speed bomber. Her payload was very small, with a maximum of only about 1500kg, and her weapons were only one or two machine guns, although they were not frequently used.
