The Arado 195 was a single-engined prototype carrier based torpedo bomber built by the German firm Arado for service on the German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin during the Second World War.
Flown against the Fi 167 in the competition for the contract to equip the Graf
Zeppelin, the Ar 195 was an efficient load carrier but the excessive drag of
the wing bracing and inefficient aerodynamics ruined the flight performance.
This drag problem was never resolved and only the three prototypes were built.
