The Gotha Ka 430 was a German military transport glider first built in 1944 and designed by Albert Kalkert. It could carry twelve men, and towards the end of the Second World War tests were under way to see whether it could carry a cargo of 1,400 kilograms. A single 13 mm MG 131 machine gun in a dorsal turret was fitted for self-defence. The published specification records an empty weight of 1,810 kilograms, a wingspan of 19.5 metres, a length of 13.22 metres and a maximum glide ratio of 14 to 1. Twelve had been produced by the end of the war, but none of them was used operationally.
