It was planned to introduce the Me 163S, which removed the rocket engine
and tank capacity and placed a second seat for the instructor above
and behind the pilot, with his own canopy. The Me 163S would be used
for glider landing training, which as explained above, was essential
to operate the Me 163. It appears the 163Ss were converted from the
earlier Me 163B series prototypes. |
