Albatros D.VI
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albatros D.VI was the designation given to a prototype single-seat twin-boom pusher biplane built in 1917. It was armed with an LMG 08/15 7.92 mm machine gun and a fixed Becker 20 mm cannon.
The aircraft's undercarriage was damaged on landing from its maiden flight in February 1918 and was never repaired, the project being abandoned in May of that year due to other projects of higher priority. The 180 hp Mercedes D.IIIa engine was eventually removed for use in a different aircraft.
