The Sack AS-6 was an experimental aircraft developed in Nazi Germany during World War II. Conceived by German farmer and aviation enthusiast Arthur Sack, the AS-6 aimed to explore the feasibility of a circular-wing design. Inspired by unconventional aerodynamic concepts, Sack began work on his design in the early 1940s. Constructed using parts from various aircraft, including a fuselage from a Messerschmitt Bf 109, the AS-6 was an ambitious attempt at pushing the boundaries of aviation innovation.
The AS-6 underwent limited testing at the Leipzig-Mockau airfield in 1944. Unfortunately, the aircraft’s flight capabilities failed to meet expectations. Despite its intriguing design, the AS-6 struggled with stability and control issues, rendering it unsuitable for practical use in combat. The Luftwaffe’s increasing focus on tried-and-tested aircraft for the war effort further sidelined the project. Nevertheless, the AS-6 remains a fascinating example of the inventive—and often desperate—approaches pursued during wartime aviation research.
While the Sack AS-6 never saw operational use in any conflict, its legacy lies in its status as a symbol of experimental aviation during a time of rapid technological advancement. The aircraft’s unique circular wing and its backstory continue to capture the imagination of aviation historians and enthusiasts, illustrating the diverse and unconventional ideas that emerged during World War II.
This 1:72 scale model of the aircraft’s unconventional design, it is an eye-catching addition to any collection. Perfect for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs, this replica captures the daring spirit of innovation that defined wartime aeronautical experimentation.
