Fieseler F 6

The Fieseler F 6, also written Fi 6, was a two-seat trainer and sport aircraft developed, built and flown at the Fieseler aircraft works in Kassel in the mid-1930s. It was a further development of the Fieseler F 5 R, the acrobatic sportsplane and trainer that had made Fieseler's name, and it used the same powerful Hirth HM 60 R engine that gave the F 5 R its speed and agility. Fieseler changed the wing shape to improve flight characteristics and give the aircraft a more elegant silhouette. A prototype from the Fieseler works was registered as D-EBIX. Sources record little more about the type, and a museum catalogue lists it only as a sportsplane project of 1933 built as a modified F 5 with the uprated engine, so no production figures, performance data or later history can be stated here.
