Le Dewoitina D.26 was a French military trainer aircraft developed in the 1930s. It was a parasol-wing monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear and an open cockpit for the instructor and the student. The D.26 was powered by a single Hispano-Suiza 8Ab V-8 engine that produced 180 hp. The D.26 could reach a maximum speed of 217 km/h and had a range of 500 km.
Il D.26 fu progettato da Emile Dewoitine come derivato del caccia D.21, che era stato rifiutato dall'aeronautica francese. Il D.26 era destinato ad addestrare i piloti per i caccia D.27 e D.53, anch'essi progettati da Dewoitine. Il primo prototipo del D.26 volò nel 1930 e fu seguito da 63 aerei di produzione che furono consegnati all'aeronautica francese tra il 1931 e il 1934.
Le D.26 served as the main advanced trainer for the French Air Force until the outbreak of World War II, when some of them were converted into liaison or reconnaissance aircraft. The D.26 also saw service with the Swiss Air Force, which acquired 11 aircraft in 1931 and used them until 1948. The Swiss D.26s were modified with a more powerful engine, a variable-pitch propeller, and a closed cockpit. One Swiss D.26 is preserved at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne.
