Fokker V.6

Fokker V.6

Development parallel with V.5


Single seat triplane fighter with cantilever wings, further development for the Dr.1.
Developed parallel with the Fokker V.5.

The V.6 was powered by a heavier, liquid-cooled engine,

 

and therefore was given larger wings. It was less manouevrable than the Fokker V.5, and development did not proceed.  

This was not succesfull and the aircraft was never produced.
