The Heinkel HD 26 was a reconnaissance seaplane developed in Germany during the 1920s for production in Japan. It was intended as a smaller, single-seat counterpart to the HD 25, to provide a spotter aircraft for warships, to take off from a short ramp. The HD 26 was a conventional biplane with staggered wings, twin float undercarriage, and an open cockpit. Delivered to Japan, as Type 2 Single seat Reconnaissance Seaplane or "Kleiner Heinkel-Seeaufklärer". Aichi tested one of the planes with a Jupiter engine. Tested on the battleship Nagato and the cruiser Furutaka
