A French racing aircraft emphasizing speed through minimal weight, the HD.22 achieved 133 km/h despite its diminutive design. The 5.9-meter fuselage and 6.4-meter wingspan created an ultra-lightweight platform, while single-engine simplicity reduced complexity. Competition flying established its reputation.
