The Blohm & Voss P 214 was a small manned interceptor project described as a Bemannte Fla. Bombe (Fla. standing for Flugabwehr), meaning "Manned Air Defence Bomb". [1] It was studied late in 1944 but not developed past the project stage.
No design description or drawing of the airframe is known to exist, and contemporary knowledge of it comes only from a few pages of operational discussion and performance graphs. Even the type of propulsion is not known. [2]
The P 214 has in the past been misidentified as the MGRP composite design proposed by Karl Stöckel at the DVL. An exhibit displayed at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Virginia is claimed to be a replica. [3]
Other authors have stated that it was one of the series of outboard-tail "batwing" projects studied by B&V during 1944-45. [4] [5]

The Messerschmitt P.1079 was a series of different experimental Messerschmitt fighters projected during the Second World War. The last designs were proposed in 1944 towards the end of the Third Reich. Except for the last one, all the aircraft designs were to be powered by pulse jets, the same engines used in the V-1 flying bomb.

The Blohm & Voss BV 237 was a German proposed dive bomber with an unusual asymmetric design based on the Blohm & Voss BV 141.
The Blohm & Voss P215 was an advanced jet night fighter project by Blohm & Voss during the Second World War. With a crew of three and twin jet engines, it featured a tailless swept-wing layout and heavy armament. An order for three prototypes was received just weeks before the war ended.
The Blohm & Voss P 163 was a design project for an unconventional bomber during World War II. Constructed mainly from steel, its crew were accommodated in large wingtip nacelles, giving it a triple-fuselage appearance. Its propeller drive system was also unusual, with the central fuselage containing twin engines coupled to a front-mounted contra-prop.
The Blohm & Voss P 203 was a design project for a heavy fighter during World War II. Capable of filling the roles of night fighter, light bomber and ground-attack, it had mixed propulsion, having both piston engine driven propellers and jet engines.
The Blohm & Voss P 196 was the last of Blohm & Voss's World War II design projects for a "stuka" dive bomber and close support aircraft to replace the aging Junkers Ju 87.
