- Succeeded in the first flight in 1943. After that, various variation types are planned and produced.
- Originally, two Jumo004 engines were installed under each wing, a total of two, but C type with four BMW003 jet engines also appeared.
- Ar234P is planned as a night fighting aircraft equipped with radar on the nose based on the C type, and it was a double seat type.
