The Gotha Ka 430 was a military transport glider, first built in 1944.

Twelve had been produced by the end of World War II, but none of them was used operationally.

[1] The glider could carry twelve men, and tests were being conducted towards the end of the war to see if it could carry a cargo of 1,400 kg (3,100 lb).

A single 13 mm (0.512 in) MG 131 machine gun was fitted for self-defence.
