A late-[[World War II]] composite flying weapon used by the Luftwaffe, consisting of a manned fighter sitting on top of an unmanned lower aircraft. The fighter pilot would fly the combination to the target area, and once in range he would separate and guide the explosive-filled lower [[airplane]] by remote control to strike the target.
