The Arado E.381 (Kleinstjäger – smallest fighter) was a proposed parasite fighter aircraft. Conceived by Arado Flugzeugwerke in December 1944 for Germany’s Luftwaffe during World War II the E.381 was to have been carried aloft by and launched from an Arado Ar 234 mother aircraft. It would then have activated its rocket engine which would have propelled it to attack Allied (mainly American and British) bombers.
