Hello again everyone, and welcome to another teaser of something.
Today, I bring another one of Messerschmitt and Arado's backbone jet fighter; the Ar 217 C-6H!
This variant, the C-6H, provides significant differences over the prior variants, the C-1 and F-5. These differences I shall list below:
-A new in-line turboprop, the Heinkel HeS 011.
-Two underslung turboprops, Junkers Jumo 109-004H, that increase the top speed and gives a better takeoff time.
-Three larger caliber autocannons mounted around the nose intake, and two smaller caliber autocannons mounted in the wing roots.
-A forward mounted cockpit that provides more space for the pilot and better visibility.
-Significantly larger primary wing surface that provides better manouverability at higher altitudes.
-Retractable towhook near the tail so the 217 can land on carrier decks.
-"Traditional" tail configuration similar to Arado's original Ar 217 concept.
-And lastly, larger fuel tanks in the wing base and engine nacelles.
With all these upgrades, the Ar 217 C-6H is one of the deadliest and most common aircraft over the Atlantic, and eventually will arrive here to the website. (Hopefully within the next month or so)
Isn’t anyone gonna welcome him back?
