It was a substantially revised design with a redesigned tailplane and undercarriage and wings of shorter span. The HD.14's wooden construction was replaced in part with metal structure.
Variants
The HD.32 EP.2 was the version ordered in quantity. The HD.320 was also built in Yugoslavia by Zmaj, using a Salmson 9Ac, Siemens Sh12 or Walter NZ-120 engine.
