The Arado E.581-4 was a German flying wing bomber project. It had three landing gears, and an unusually low fuselage.
History
The aircraft was originally designed as the Arado E.555, and a scaled down version was designed in 1944, developing into this craft. Production was never completed, however, as it was dropped in favour of maximising production of existing designs.
