The Arado Ar 67, introduced in 1933, served as the single-seat biplane fighter that followed the Ar 65.
While the Ar 67 was smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the Ar 68, developed concurrently, outperformed it.
Due to the superior performance of the Ar 68, development of the Ar 67 was halted after the completion of just one prototype.
