The Edrissa TE-06 was a single-engine single-seat World War II fighter aircraft designed by Edrissa in 1945. The TE-06 was designed as the successor to the TE-05. After the TE-05 raised the bar in terms of Mali aircraft design, the TE-06 showed excellent flying characteristics (even better than its predecessor). However, delays in acquiring the engines prevented test flights to come sooner. The project was later cancelled after the surrender of Mali in 1945.
