Variants

;XSE-1

:The XSE-1, of 1932, was a two-seat high-wing cabin monoplane with folding wings, powered by a {{cvt|650|hp}} Wright R-1820F radial engine. It was not ordered into production and only one prototype (A-9186) was built, which crashed before delivery.

;XSE-2

:The XSE-1 was re-designed with stronger structure, larger fin and powered by a Wright R-1510 14-cylinder 2-row radial engine. It re-used the serial number of the destroyed XSE-1.{{cite web|last1=Eckland|first1=K.O.|title=Bellanca|url=http://aerofiles.com/_bella.html|website=aerofiles|accessdate=16 May 2017}}
