Heinkel He 343

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Heinkel He 343 was a four-engined jet bomber project, based on an enlarged Arado Ar 234 design.

Four versions were planned: the He 343A-1 bomber, the A-2 reconnaissance aircraft, and the A-3 and B-1 Zerstorer types.

Twenty aircraft were ordered in early 1944, but late in the year the project was cancelled. There are rumoured that one aircraft was completed, but it was destroyed before it could be test-flown.
