Horten H VI V2
December 1940. The H IV became the most successful all-wing aircraft that Horten developed and it encouraged him to explore further the potential of high aspect ratio (AR) wing design. He completed the first Horten VI four years later but this sailplane was experimental and not intended for series production so Reimar designated it 'vee-number-one' to indicate its prototype status.
Horten built two examples in the summer of 1944. The Horten VI used a complex flight control system that was similar to the Horten IV and Horten equipped it with a semi-prone position for the pilot. Flight tests uncovered a tendency for the wingtips to flutter at about 128 km/h (80 mph).
Materials
Steel tubing center section covered with plywood and aluminum, wooden wings covered plywood and cotton fabric.
