In August 1943, the Arado design department finished a study on the further development of a fast two-seat jet powered aircraft. Their Ar 234 had just made its first flight a couple of months earlier, and the Arado designers wanted to come up with a new design for a multirole aircraft. The TEW 16/43-19 was a mid-wing monoplane, constructed entirely of metal. There were two jet engines mounted below the sweptback wings, in the 1500 kg thrust range. A single fin and rudder was fitted, and the tailplanes also had sweepback. The cockpit was located in the extreme fuselage nose, and held two men sitting back to back. It was very reminiscent of the earlier Arado 240 forward fuselage and cockpit. The undercarriage was to be a tricycle type, and all wheels were single tired. Five different versions were envisioned:
Schnellbomber (High-speed bomber)
Zerstörer (Destroyer)
Nachtjäger (Night Fighter)
Schlechtwetterjäger (Bad weather fighter)
Aufklärer (Reconnaissance)
Schnellbomber (High-speed bomber)
