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.

[1]: 137–138 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.

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.

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.

Since then, at the hands of pilot Christoph Zahn, it has provided aerobatics demonstrations at numerous air shows.
