The DFS 194 was a rocket-powered aircraft designed by Alexander Lippisch at the Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug (DFS - German Institute for Sailplane Flight).

This aircraft was designated DFS 194 and the development was conducted at the Messerschmitt works in Augsburg. The construction of the world’s first rocket powered, combat-ready, airplane had begun.1
The design was based on earlier work on the DFS 194 in 1938.2 It was done by the German Research Institute for Sailplanes.2 A Walter HWK R.I motor (600 lb / 2.7kN) was added.2
and the partially completed DFS 194 to the Messerschmitt works at Augsburg. The delays caused by this move allowed the engine development to "catch up".3
headed a project that produced the DFS 194 rocket test aircraft, which became the predecessor of Me 163.4
and the partially completed DFS 194 to the Messerschmitt works at Augsburg.5
adding to the original DFS 194, followed by eight pre-production examples designated Me 163 A-0.6
