The '''Arado L I''' was a two-seat parasol-wing sport monoplane built in Germany in 1929, in order to compete in the Europa Rundflug that year. During the fuel consumption trials, the L 1 made a forced landing and was disqualified from the contest. Bringing the aircraft back to Paris, designer Hermann Hofmann performed some aerobatics over the airfield and was killed when it crashed. <!-- ==Development== --> <!-- ==Operational history== --> <!-- ==Variants== --> <!-- ==Aircraft markings== --> <!-- ==Units using this aircraft/Operators (choose)== -->
