The original Type VIII that had been completely destroyed in a crash on July 23, 1908 from which Blériot walked away unharmed.
The Bleriot VIII was first modified to the VIII-bis and then the Bleriot VIII-ter.

The Type VIII ter appeared at Issy-les-Moulineaux in August 1908 as an improved replacement. Starting on August 12, numerous flights were made with the Type VIII ter. On October 31, 1908, Blériot flew 14 km from Toury to Artenay.

The Bleriot No.8 crashed a month after a successful 17-mile flight.
On November 4, 1908, the new machine was also wrecked, this time with Blériot not being so lucky, as he was severely injured in the crash.

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.

The 1910 Bleriot monoplane was a metre shorter than the previous model, at 6.6m.


Operated by Air Union circa 1929.

The Bleriot B-125 had tandem Hispani-Suiza 500 hp engines as standard. Between the two powerplants is the pilot’s cabin while the passenger cabins are at the nose of each of the double fuselage. Each fuselage nose carriers six seats.


Bleriot achieved little success with this streamlined monocoqe scout in 1915.
