In 1956 after restrictions on aircraft construction in Germany were lifted Walter Blume produced, a modernized version of the Ar 79. The canopy was extended rearward, the fin was replaced by a more modern form, the wing replaced by an all metal wing and the landing gear replaced by a tricycle undercarriage. The original Hirth engine Hirth being no longer available, was replaced by the Lycoming O-320.
A four-seater with straight-tapered flying surfaces, there are wingtip fairings to increase the effective aspect ratio and boundary-layer fences between the centre-section and outer wing panels. Two fuel tanks are in the wing centre section, one on each side of the fuselage.
