Albatros D.VI

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Albatros D.VI was the designation given to a single-seat twin-boom pusher biplane prototype built in Germany in 1917. It was armed with a fixed 7.92 millimetre LMG 08/15 machine gun and a fixed 20 millimetre Becker Type M2 cannon. During its maiden flight in February 1918 the undercarriage was damaged on landing and was never repaired, and the project was abandoned in May of that year because of higher-priority programmes. Its 130 kilowatt Mercedes D.IIIa engine was removed for use in a different aircraft. The aircraft had a length of 7.75 metres, a wingspan of 9.8 metres and an empty weight of 638 kilograms.
