An ambitious twin-engine military design of 1927, the HE 7 reconnaissance/torpedo bomber represented escalation toward heavier strike aircraft. Its 24-metre span and 950-kilometre range enabled extended naval operations, while two-crew configuration separated pilot and weapons officer. The 200 km/h speed reflected the weight of twin engines and strike ordnance.
