"ballistikfrei" means non-ballistic. By clicking on the drawing in the link, you'll
get the full drawing with explanation of the components.

About the "project by the Luftfahrt-Forschungsanstalt": Careful, that's not said in the scanned
documents! Actually it's not mentioned anywhere, who made that sketch, but the explanation,
how a manned bomb should be designed, mentions that this layout (pilot seated dorsally) would
impair vision onto the target.
The sketch is shown in the file containing the documents and is mentioned in the article as "attached
to the proposal", but it carries no page number, so I would recommend prudence to put it in direct
relation to that proposal from October 1943, which was principally about the deployment of an airforce
unit tasked with "effective attacks on pinpoint targets", not a specific design.
 
And from Flieger Revue Extra 40,it's Heinrich Project.
