Fokker V.6
The Fokker V.6 was a prototype triplane fighter designed by the Fokker Aircraft Company (Fokker-Flugzeugwerke) during the First World War for the Imperial German Army's (Deutsches Heer) Imperial German Air Service (Luftstreitkräfte). It was developed in parallel with the V.5, from which the famous Dr.I triplane was developed in 1917. It proved impossible to compensate for the additional weight of the water-cooled engine which significantly reduced its performance in comparison to the V.5. Only one aircraft was built.
