The Fokker V.9 was part of a series of experimental aircraft which led up to the low-production D.VI fighter. The aircraft were very similar, varying in detail and power plants.
The V.9 was powered by a 60 kW (80 hp) Oberursel U.O (later re-engined with a 110 hp Ur.II rotary) and first flew in December 1917; all others flew in 1918.[1]
The V.12 was powered by an experimental 119 kW (160 hp), Steyr-Le Rhône engine.[1]
The V.14. Like the V.12, the V.14 was powered by the 119 kW (160 hp) Steyr-Le Rhone.[1]
The V.16 was powered by the 82 kW (110 hp) Oberursel Ur. II.[1]
The V.33 was a development of the V.9. It was tested with both a 82 kW (110 hp) Ur. II engine and then a 108 kW (145 hp) Ur. III engine.[1]
