Development

The D.7 was a conventional-layout light monoplane whose thick cantilever shoulder-mounted wing attached to the fuselage just below the open cockpit. Its tailskid landing gear was fixed. A small windscreen was used.

Power for the D.7 could be provided by any small engine and examples of the Clerget 2K 2-cyl. horizontally opposed engine and Vaslin 4-cyl horizontally opposed engine were fitted as well as the Salmson engine.
