Will the Me 262 Project be building a replica of the Arado Ar 234 in the future?
A8: No. We have no plans in this regard, nor do we believe that it is technically feasible at the present time. What made the Me 262 project possible was the availability of an original, un-restored example for teardown and duplication. This was truly the key to the entire effort. Surviving Me 262s are rare indeed, but the Arado 234 is far rarer only a single example has survived at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington. As this aircraft underwent a complete restoration just a few years ago, it is obviously not available for “teardown and duplication.” Thus, we have no template from which to work. It is exceedingly difficult to construct an airplane from technical drawings alone and, in the case of the German jets, these are incomplete at best. Even if we desperately wanted to reconstruct the Blitz, the technical challenges of such an endeavor would be all but impossible to overcome. The Me 262 Project is currently making no statements regarding potential follow-on programs, ex
