The DFS Habicht (German: "Hawk") is an unlimited aerobatic sailplane that was designed in 1936 by Hans Jacobs with support provided by the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug. Four planes were made available for the Olympic Games of 1936, where the maneuvers of the Habicht over and literally inside the Olympic stadium enthralled spectators. The flight qualities of the Habicht were praised by pilots, including Hanna Reitsch. It participated in many airshows abroad before the war, including the 1938 National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio.

  • The DFS Habicht (German: "Hawk") is an unlimited aerobatic sailplane that was designed in 1936 by Hans Jacobs with support provided by the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug. Four planes were made available for the Olympic Games of 1936, where the maneuvers of the Habicht over and literally inside the Olympic stadium enthralled spectators. The flight qualities of the Habicht were praised by pilots, including Hanna Reitsch. It participated in many airshows abroad before the war, including the 1938 National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio. Modified versions of the Habicht, dubbed the Stummel-Habicht ("Stumpy Hawk"), were used to train pilots to fly the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet rocket-powered fighter. Trainees included students from the Hitler Youth Glider Schools. The Me 163 was designed to use its entire load of rocket fuel to reach combat altitude of approximately 10,000 metres (33,000 ft), before returning to land as a fast glider. Trainees therefore began on a Stummel-Habicht, in which the original 14 metres (46 ft) wingspan, was modified to one having an 8 metres (26 ft) wingspan, and another having an 6 metres (20 ft) wingspan. The shorter wingspan closely mimicked the ME 163 handling characteristics. Few Habichts survived World War II. There is one craft, flown by famous French aerobatic pilot , in the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in Paris. Another, with the registration D-8002, flew in Southern Germany until it was destroyed by the collapse of the hangar wherein it was stored. Apart from these original examples, Türk Hava Kurumu manufactured six reverse-engineered copies of the Habicht as the THK-3 in 1945-1946. After lengthy and patient research to recover the design documentation, Josef Kurz and other members of the Oldtimer Segelflugclub Wasserkuppe built an all-new Habicht. After an extended exhibition career, this exemplar, registered also as D-8002, flies from the Wasserkuppe club's airfield. Another airworthy Habicht was built by the Zahn family and first flew in 2001. Since then, at the hands of pilot Christoph Zahn, it has provided aerobatics demonstrations at numerous air shows. (en)

  • O DFS Habicht é um planador acrobático alemão com asas de gaivota. Projetado em 1936 pelo engenheiro aeronáutico Hans Jacobs com auxílio do DFS - Instituto Alemão de Pesquisa de Vôo Planado. Quatro exemplares foram disponibilizados, conforme planejado para os Jogos Olímpicos de 1936, onde suas evoluções no estádio olímpico fascinaram os espectadores. Suas qualidades de voo foram elogiados pelos pilotos incluindo Hanna Reitsch. Participou de várias exibições no exterior antes da guerra, incluindo a Cleveland-Air Race de 1938. Poucos Habicht sobreviveram à II Guerra Mundial. Existe um exemplar preservado num museu de Paris. Outro, com o prefixo D-8002, voou no Sul da Alemanha até ser destruído pela queda do hangar onde estava estacionado. Depois de um longo e paciente trabalho de investigação para recuperar o projeto e sua documentação, Josef Kurz e outros membros da Oldtimer Segelflugclub Wasserkuppe construiram um novo DFS Habicht. Depois de uma longa carreira de exibições, este exemplar registrado igualmente como D-8002 voa no aeródromo do aeroclube Wasserkuppe . Outros Habicht foram construídos pela família Zahn e primeiro voou em 2001. Desde então, nas mãos do piloto Christoph Zahn, tem apresentado-se em inúmeros shows de acrobacias aéreas. (pt)
  • DFS Habicht (hök på tyska) var ett tyskt segelflygplan konstruerat för avancerad flygning. Flygplanet konstruerades vid Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS) av Hans Jacobs. Fyra exemplar var tillverkade när Olympiska spelen i Berlin invigdes 1936. Under ceremonierna runt olympiaden deltog flygplanstypen med spektakulära uppvisningsflygningar över olympiastadion. Flygplanets flygegenskaper lovordades av flera piloter, bland annat av segelflygmästarna Hanna Reitsch och Peter Riedel. Före kriget deltog flygplanet i många uppvisningsflygningar runt om i världen, bland annat i 1938 års Cleveland Air-Race. Endast ett fåtal flygplan överlevde andra världskriget, ett exemplar finns utställt på ett museum i Paris, ytterligare ett flygande plan fanns i södra Tyskland, men det totalförstördes när hangaren det förvarades i rasade. Vid segelflygets veteranklubb på Wasserkuppe har man efter att originalritningarna hittats nytillverkat ett flygande exemplar som finns utställt vid segelflygmuseet på Wasserkuppe. (sv)
