1927 - DFS Hangwind, Glider for basig fligt instruction

The Hangwind was a glider for basic flight instruc- tion. A interesting detail of this construction is the twin-boom tail.  

1928 - DFS Professor I, High performance soaring plane

1929 - DFS Professor II, High performance soaring plane

1931 - DFS E 32, Soaring plane

1931 - DFS Einheitsschulflugzeug, Glider for basic flight training

The Einheitsschulflugzeug (standard flight trainer) was a design for basic flight training, similar to the majority of gliders of that days. The tail could be folded so the plane consumed less space in storage.

1931 - DFS Jacht 71, Soaring plane

1932 - DFS Condor II, High performance soaring plane

1932 - DFS Rhönadler, High performance soaring plane

1932 - DFS Stanavo, High performance soaring plane

1933 - DFS Hol's der Teufel, Training glider

This was a simple glider for basic flight instruction It was designed for being launched by rubber ropes. The name ("To hell with it!") was cited from nameless pilot students who had to do their first flights. It was single seat - so there was no room for a flight instructor. To hell with it!
