The Hanriot HD.6 was rather like a scaled-up (by nearly 30% in span), more powerful version of the HD.5. Both were two-seat fighters and biplanes with equal span upper and lower wings. The unstaggered wings were divided into two bays on each side by two pairs of parallel interplane struts; bracing was assisted by wires. Their wings were almost rectangular in plan, with squared wing tips on the HD.6 though the rounded tips of its short span, horn balanced ailerons, mounted on both upper and lower planes, projected beyond. On both designs the interplane gap was unusually small, with the upper wing so close to the fuselage that its leading edge required a deep, slot like cut-out for the pilot's head. Behind him the trailing edge also had a cut-out, this for the movement of the rear gunner's two dorsal Lewis guns; he also had a single, ventrally mounted Lewis gun. From gunner to tail, the fuselage of the HD.5 had rounded decking. The fighter's braced, rectangular tailplane, mounted on top of the fuselage had projecting horn balances on its elevators like those on the ailerons. The fin was small but the rudder was broad chord and low; it was very rounded and extended down to the keel, so there was an elevator cut-out for rudder movement.[1]

The HD.6 was powered by a 530 hp (395 kW) Salmson 18Z two row, 18-cylinder radial engine, water-cooled by three circular section radiators mounted between the legs of its fixed conventional undercarriage. This had mainwheels on a single axle attached by V-struts to the lower fuselage, assisted by a tailskid.[1]

Built at about the same time as the HD.5, the first flight of the sole prototype was delayed by over a year owing to development difficulties with the novel engine. Beginning in the spring of 1919, flight testing lasted into the late summer, when further development was abandoned.[1]

FEATS

2x Fixed Piloted 0.303 (7.7mm) Vickers Machine Guns
1x Camera Controlled Rear Lewis Gun (Operated Manually) - AG1
1x Fixed Ventral Lewis Gun - AG2
1000HP 2 Propeller Engine.

Added a gyro to help stabilize when using the Rear Turret - AG7
Note
- When Landing try not to use the brake until your under 20 MPH so that your plane doesn't flip over since the front 2 wheel brakes are a lot stronger then the rear wheel brake.
