The Fokker V.6 was a prototype fighter triplane developed in Germany during World War I in parallel with the V.5 from which the famous Dr. I was developed. The V.6 was powered by an 89 kW (120 hp) Mercedes D. II liquid-cooled engine. The heavier engine required larger wings with the lower wing being placed just below the fuselage. A modification to add fairings to the lower wing fuselage junction was implemented after the first tests.
