The Arado Ar E.555 was a conceptual German long-range jet bomber designed during World War II for the "Amerika Bomber" project, designed to attack the United States, but it was never used in combat or built. As a proposed design series (1943–1944), it was cancelled in late 1944 due to technical difficulties and the deteriorating war situation.
Key Details Regarding the Proposed Usage:
- Purpose: It was designed to function as an "Atlantik" bomber, operating over open seas to reach the US from Europe.
- Design Studies: Multiple variants (E.555-1 through E.555-14) were studied, featuring various layouts (e.g., flying wing, twin-boom) with up to six jet engines.
- Capabilities: Proposed specifications included speeds of 530–630 mph and an 8,800 lb bomb load, intended to target American cities.
The project never left the drawing board, making its only "usage" in historical records and, later, in model kits and hypothetical aviation scenarios.
