	Messerschmitt Me 163B
		It was also to be a rocket-powered design under a top-secret program designated Project X. DFS was to build the aircraft's wings while Heinkel, which was already working on the He 176, was to manufacture the rest of the airframe.
		It was replaced by a new design, designated the DFS 194, with a single large vertical stabilizer mounted on the fuselage.
		The success of the DFS 194 spurred development of the first prototype Me 163, designated the Me 163 V1, which was completed during early 1941.

		DFS sent him to the Messerschmitt Company in 1939, to head a department to develop a rocket fighter for the Air Ministry.
		The DFS 40, or Delta V, was the last of the series to fly, in 1939.
		Work continued and the predecessor of the Me 163, the DFS 39 (DFS- German Research Institute for Glider Flight), in the hands of Groenhoff's successor, Heini Dittmar proved the aircraft to be a good reliable plane for courier and overland flights.

	DFS 194 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As originally conceived, it would have been a tail-less aircraft similar to his DFS 40, powered by a conventional piston engine driving a pusher propeller.
		The following year, the result would be the Messerschmitt Me 163, a considerably refined design along the same basic lines.

	DFS-194
		The DFS-194 was designed by Dr. Alexander M. Lippisch as a rocket propelled research aircraft powered by a Walter R I-203 rocket engine mounted in the tail which developed 882 pounds of thrust.
		During January of 1939, Lippisch and his desing team transferred from DFS to the Messerschmitt company taking the project with them.
		The success of thhe DFS -194 directly led to development of the Me-163 Komet rocket fighter.

	Delta IVc - DFS 39
		The Delta IVb was given the official RLM designation DFS 39 in 1936 after completing intensive testing at the Federal Flight Testing Center at Rechlin, and was licensed as as a two-seater sport aircraft.
		Powered by a 100 hp piston engine, the DFS 39 had a slightly gulfed delta wing with pronounced wingtip anhedral.
		In the event the rocket- powered DFS 39 did not actually fly, being dropped before completion in favor of the DFS 40.

	Mitsubishi J8M Shusui
		From consultations and experimental aircraft, Lippisch designed the DFS 194 but owing to official red tape, he decided to leave the DFS and was accepted into the Messerschmitt AG firm.
		However, his decision to replace the conventional prop engine for his DFS 194 with a Walter R I-203 rocket engine was to be perhaps the sole reason for the revival of interest in rocket propelled aircraft.
		While the DFS 194 was stressed for up to 190mph, the 150 seconds of fuel soon has the DFS 194 pushing the 300mph mark and the climb rate was nothing short of outstanding.

		When work had progressed to the point that it was likely to reach production, the effort was moved to Messerschmitt and became the Me 163.
		Secrecy was such that the number, 163, was actually that of an earlier project to produce a small two-passenger light plane, as it was thought that intelligence services would conclude any reference to the number would be for that earlier design.

		Nevertheless the DFS 194 was completed, with an all-wood structure, and powered by 1 × Walter R I-203 rocket engine, rated at 882 lb st (3,92 kN).
		DFS had only experience in wooden aircraft, so another manufacturer had to be selected to build it.

		A wooden test aircraft was begun under the designation DFS 194, but construction of the metal fuselage, considered necessary for the highly reactive rocket fuel, proved beyond the institute's resources, so in January 1939 Lippisch's team joined Messerschmitt and the design became the Me 163.
		Delays to the programme resulted in the wooden DFS 194 being fitted with the rocket, and when flight trials produced speeds of up to 550 km/h (342 mph) Messerschmitt was instructed to produce six Me 163A prototypes as a prelude to production Me l63Bs with much more powerful motors.
		It was based on the experimental DFS 194, designed in 1938 by Prof Alexander Lippisch and transferred, together with its staff, to the Messerschmitt AG for further development.

		This interest resulted in five aircraft, numbered Delta I – Delta V, which were built between 1931 and 1939.
		In early 1939, the Reichsluftfahrtsministerium (RLM) – ("Reich Aviation Ministry") transferred Lippisch and his team to work at the Messerschmitt factory, in order to design a high-speed fighter aircraft around the rocket engines then under development by Hellmuth Walter.

		Having said that, the DFS 194 was eventually developed into the ME 163 the only rocket-powered fighter to enter service during the Second World War.
		I have very few references for the DFS 194 except for a few pictures of the maiden flight so I had no idea what the insides looked like.
