The Focke-Wulf Flitzer, meaning streaker or dasher, was a jet fighter under development in Germany at the end of World War II. The design, also called Entwurf VI, had a central fuselage and two booms carrying the rear control surfaces, similar to the contemporary de Havilland Vampire. Its air inlets began on either side of the nose and were later moved to the wing roots to improve speed, and a Walter HWK 109-509 rocket was built in to give supplementary thrust for climbing. A complete mockup was built and all construction and assembly plans were finished, but the Reich Air Ministry did not accept the aircraft. Some sources call it the Fw 272, a designation the aircraft never actually held.
