The Arado V I was a prototype airliner built in Germany in 1927. It was a single-engine, high-wing braced monoplane with tailwheel undercarriage. It made several long-distance flights, including carrying mail to South America before being exhibited in Berlin in 1929, when it was bought by Deutsche Luft Hansa. Christened Tenerife, it crashed outside Berlin on 12 December, killing both pilots.
