[1] The Pfalz was fitted with a nine-cylinder 82 kW (110 hp) Oberursel U.II rotary engine, driving a two-blade propeller with a large spinner.

The straight edged tailplane was mounted at mid fuselage and carried horn balanced elevators with angled tips.

A single-seat, open cockpit placed the pilot under the upper trailing edge, which had a shallow but broad cut-out to enhance his view.

The D.VI had a simple fixed conventional undercarriage, with mainwheels on a single axle supported at each end by a slender V-form pair of struts.

It was armed with a pair of fixed LMG 08/15 7.9 mm (0.31 in) calibre machine guns, the standard German single-seat fighter equipment of the time.
