Design and development
The Ar 233 was a twin-engined flying-boat with room for ten passengers. It would have been powered by either two BMW 323 or BMW 801 engines.[1] A retractable tricycle landing gear would have allowed amphibious operation.[1] A mockup was completed by Dewoitine in German-occupied France, but the project was abandoned due to the Liberation of France in 1944.

gollark: I see. I think I'll just consume normal chocolate cuboids.
gollark: I've never actually had one of these "tobler-ones".
gollark: Nuclear fission best near-term energy generation method for providing for the increasing energy needs of things
gollark: But not as good as ***NUCLEAR BIKES***.
gollark: As well as making it much more practical to drive arbitrarily long distances, it is nuclear and thus COOL and GOOD. No downsides!
