Voisin VI
The Voisin VI or Voisin Type 6 was a French pusher biplane bomber aircraft of World War I.
Development history
The first Voisin VI entered service in 1916 and replaced the Voisin III on the production lines. However, the Salmson engines of the Voisin were held in low regard by their crews. Despite the more powerful engine, the Voisin VIs' payload was only marginally better and the maximum speed was only - not enough of an improvement to make a difference, while climb rate suffered substantially.A single Voisin VI was fitted with a second Salmson in the nose of the fuselage, driving a tractor propeller. It is believed that the intention was to test a possible twin pusher and tractor propeller configuration for a new bomber planned by Voisin.
