Bleriot XL / 40

Looking superficially like a Henry Farman pusher biplane, the Type XL of 1913 differed noticeably from the HF by its undercarriage, nacelle and oval rudder. The machine was first presented in May at Salon de Turin, then later exhibited at the Paris Salon, but remained a singular example. It can also be found numbered arabically as the Blériot 40.
