The Blohm & Voss P214 was a study of a single-seat German fighter aircraft from 1945 as part of the hunter emergency program .

The project was officially known as the Manned Fla-Bomb ( Fla : short for air defense ). It is an aircraft that was controlled by a pilot and was supposed to bring a powerful explosive charge to the enemy bomber formation. In sufficient proximity to the formation, the pilot should jump off and detonate the now unmanned machine with its explosive charge. Since jumping off on approach was theoretically possible, but probably impossible in practice, this can be described as a "suicide bomb".
