The Arado E.560 designs were a development based on the Arado 234, and they share some characteristics with that plane.
Only four designs of E.560 variants have survived; the remaining are unknown. Except for one variants which was propeller-driven, the other three E.560 designs were to have been powered by turbojets. They were all equipped with retractable tricycle undercarriage.The E.560, like many other advanced German jet bomber projects, did not progress past the design phase.[1][2]
