The Aviatik D.VI was a prototype single-seat, biplane fighter built by Automobil und Aviatik AG for the Imperial German Army's Imperial German Air Service during the First World War. The sole prototype made its first flight in mid-1918, but it was not placed into production because the Aviatik D.VII had better performance.
