WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Small single-seat biplane fighter with inline engine
- Unequal-span wings with wire bracing
- Late-war German design that did not see combat
A small, unremarkable WWI biplane fighter with unequal-span wings; its very low quoted top speed of 106 km/h suggests the source data may reflect early flight test figures or an error — production spec would likely have been higher.
Specifications
- The Kondor D.6 has a length of 5.8 m (19 ft).
- It has a wingspan of 8.25 m (27 ft).
- Its maximum speed is 106 km/h (66 mph).

History
Developed in 1918 as the German aviation industry sought to produce improved fighter designs, the Kondor D.6 was a compact biplane with conventional inline engine installation. The Armistice ended all development and production prospects.
Variants
Only prototype or very limited production examples were completed.
