Based on the Horten H.IV, the H.VI was an enlarged version of the H.IV, with the goal of comparing their flying wing designs against the very large span Akaflieg Darmstadt D-30 Cirrus.
The H.VI was allocated the RLM ID number 8-253 and by inference Horten Ho 253 though this was little used in practice.[1]
