In spring 1945 the Luftwaffe keenly felt the lack of trained pilots and fighter planes, which were to handle easily. Machines like the Messerschmitt Me 262 or the Arado Ar 234 could be flown by experienced pilots only, of whom most were dead already. Therefore, several projects were conceived for small fighter aircraft, one of them being the "Lorin-Habicht" (Hawk). The sailplane DFS "Habicht E", devised by Hans Jacobs in 1936, was the first fully aerobatic glider and was used as a training plane for Messerschmitt Me 163 rocket fighter pilot candidates. It could have been used as a point defence fighter too, when equipped with Lorin engines (ram jets). The plane would have been started like a conventional sailplane by being towed to hight by a Messerschmitt Me 109 or a Focke Wulf Fw 190, then would have gone into a dive in order to gain enough speed to ignite the ram jets. The project would have had machine guns installed in the wing roots as armament and would have been used to attack Allied bomber streams. As landing gear a skid at the fuselage bottom was to be installed, as well as a small wheel behind the skid. In order to protect the ram jets during taxiing and ground handling small recesses would be integrated. The cockpit was to be fully glazed to give the pilot optimal visibility. How far this project was realized remains unknown.
