Heinkel's HD 38 fighter of 1928 matched the HD 37 in performance, achieving 290 km/h with similar compact proportions. The close performance and dimensions suggest both variants may have represented different construction approaches or engine installations for the same design concept. This single-seat fighter embodied the streamlined, efficient fighter architecture favoured by German designers.
