The DFS Habicht (German: Hawk) was designed in 1936 by Hans Jacobs as an unlimited aerobatic sailplane with support provided by the Deutsche-Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug. Four planes were made available for the Olympic Games of 1936 where the evolutions 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.
