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.

Design and development

A derivative of the Arado Ar 95, fitted with an arrestor hook and catapult equipment as well as a taller canopy, the Ar 195 was intended as a torpedo bomber to equip Germany's first aircraft carrier, the Graf Zeppelin. While three prototypes were flown in 1937, the design did not meet the requirements of the specification and so was rejected in favour of the Fieseler Fi 167, which was considered superior.
