Encyclopedia > Hans Jacobs

Hans Jacobs was a German sailplane designer and pioneer. As the head of the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS - German Research Institute for Sailplane Flight) at Darmstadt in the years before World War II, he was responsible for a number of highly successful designs, including the DFS Habicht, DFS Kranich, and the DFS 230 assault glider.


When the prohibition on German aviation under the Allied occupation ended in 1951, Jacobs designed and marketed an updated version of the Kranich.


He authored a seminal work on sailplane design: Werkstatt-Praxis für den Bau von Gleit- und Segelflugzeugen ("Workshop-Practice for the Construction of Gliders and Sailplanes")

AD.nl - Rotterdam Oost - Bouw aan Merellaan onzeker: IJsselcollege moet aan Couwenhoekseweg (370 words)
De Capelse wethouder Hans Jacobs ziet het praktijkonderwijs van het IJsselcollege het liefst naar de Couwenhoekseweg verhuizen.
Een belangrijk punt daarbij is of en hoeveel woningbouw bij de bouw van een nieuwe school gerealiseerd kan worden.
De voorkeur van Jacobs is duidelijk: de praktijkschool gaat net als de overige locaties van het IJsselcollege op in het rond 2010 te bouwen verzamelgebouw aan de Couwenhoekseweg.
