The Alberich Airworks PV.6 (1946) is a design for a single-seat fighter using the Heinkel HeS 011 engine. The design saw military service.

Overview
The Alberich airworks was founded in late 1945 as a commitee concerning further research on Nazi German materials such as engines and aircraft configurations for use on civilian and military service. One of their designs, the PV.6, is designed as a pure fighter armed with four 12.7 mm machine guns and powered by a 12.7 kN Heinkel HeS 011 turbojet in a straight-wing, podded profile.

Variants
PV.6 fundamental
PV6a swept-wing

Specifications
Powerplant: Heinkel HeS 011 engine, 12.7 kN thrust
Maximum speed: approximately 1,100 km/h true
Armament: 4x 12.7 mm machine guns


So this one is that fast to fly but very challenging to deal with when in combat. It is a nimble fighter at level flight, able to outrun piston fighters and the same firm's PV.3 turbojet. It may be suited as a fighter, but performance recommends the use of the aircraft as a fighter-interceptor or anti-bomber fighter capable of quick response times.
