The Schempp-Hirth Nimbus was a prototype glider built by Klaus Holighaus. The HS-3 Nimbus was a high performance single-seater. Holighaus designed and built this prototype glider in his spare time with assistance from Schempp-Hirth. Strictly speaking it is not a Schempp-Hirth glider but rather a glider built at Schempp-Hirth. It employed the same fuselage as the Open Class Cirrus and a similar tail but had an entirely new wing high-set and in three segments adding up to a 22 metre span.
