The Fieseler Fi 168 was a projected German ground attack aircraft designed in 1938 by Frederik Kassel at the request of the Technical Department of the Reich Aviation Ministry. The two-engine aircraft was a strut-braced high-wing monoplane with two tail booms and a narrow fuselage pod carried by struts under the centre section. It was meant to operate from areas of rough terrain and was to carry two rigidly mounted forward-facing machine guns. Erich Bachem, the former Fieseler development director, described it as a flying tank destroyer. The ministry discontinued the project in September 1939, so the Fi 168 remained a projected design.
