About the Design
Created in 1944 to help train "Komet" pilots, the Me163 S-1 "Habicht" was a engine-less glider adapted from the rocket-plane's "B" version. With its volatile power plant removed, the aircraft had room to accommodate both the student (forward) and flight instructor (rear). And it wouldn't explode if improperly landed.
