==Variants== ;D.520 :The main production version, sometimes designated the D.520 S (for ''série'' – production) or the D.520 C1 (for ''chasseur'' – fighter, single-seat). ===Direct derivatives=== In 1940, SNCAM had several projects to fit the D.520 airframe with more powerful engines. These developments were halted by the June armistice.<ref>Belcarz 2005, p. 8.</ref> ;D.521 :engine replaced by a [[Rolls-Royce Merlin]] III, one example was built, but the project was cancelled. ;D.522 :engine replaced by an [[Allison V-1710]] C-1, project abandoned after the armistice (22 June 1940). ;D.523 :engine replaced by slightly different sub-variants of the {{cvt|820|kW}} [[Hispano-Suiza 12Y]]-51, with Szydlowski-Planiol [[supercharger]]. D.523 Prototype was completing pre-production trials in June 1940. ;D.524 :Version powered by [[Hispano-Suiza 12Y|Hispano-Suiza 12Y-89ter]] engine. One prototype built, but it never flew. ;D.525 :development version of the D.523 ;D.530 :planned version with a {{cvt|1044|kW}} Rolls-Royce Merlin or a {{cvt|1342|kW}} [[Hispano-Suiza 12Y]]. ===Related prewar projects=== ;[[Dewoitine HD.780|HD.780]] :[[Floatplane]] derivative of the D.520, one prototype built, but it never flew, the development was cancelled with the armistice. ;D.790 :Carrier-borne derivative project, none built. ;D.550 :Unarmed aircraft built for speed record attempt, with an airframe loosely based on the D.520, but using weight-saving construction techniques. One example was built. ;D.551 and D.552 :Military developments of the D.550. 12 examples were built, but none flew. The development was resumed in 1941, but was quickly terminated by the Germans. ===Post-armistice developments=== Several projects were initiated after the June 1940 armistice. They were all terminated with the German occupation of Southern France in November 1942. ;D.520 ''amélioré'' :Single production D.520 experimentally fitted with minor improvements to improve top speed with an unchanged engine. ;D.520 Z :D.520 airframe with 12Z engine and minor improvements. One example was built. The development resumed after the war (as SE.520Z), but was eventually cancelled in 1949. ;M.520 T :Different airframe loosely based on the D.520. None built. ===Postwar derivative=== ;D.520 DC (''double commande'' – dual control) :Two-seat trainer conversion, at least 13 built.
