Design and development

The DAR 6 was designed by Zevtan Lazarov. It was constructed by the Bulgarian State Aircraft Workshops (DAR).

The aircraft was a conventional biplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear. It was powered by a radial engine.

Three versions were initially developed:

  • Basic training version, powered by an 85 hp (63 kW) Walter Vega engine;
  • Advanced training version, powered by a 145 hp (108 kW) Walter Mars I engine;
  • 1937 Model DAR 6a. This variant offered faired struts and redesigned divided landing gear. It was powered by a 150 hp (112 kW) Walter Mars I engine.

gollark: It isn't. The actual number of cases is independent of how many you know about.
gollark: I, for one, am using my atoms for nonpaperclip purposes and somewhat need them.
gollark: So you're arguing that the marginal value of a vaccine to everyone isn't great because it does not get substantially closer to eradication?
gollark: And?
gollark: The effectiveness in general scales with how many people have it and how good the vaccines are individually. We want to maximize that. So... it's sensible to reduce one factor because the other is lower?!
