History : The Blériot XI is a historic French aircraft, renowned for its role in early aviation history. Designed by Louis Blériot and Raymond Saulnier, it first flew in 1909. The Blériot XI gained fame as the aircraft in which Blériot made the first flight across the English Channel on July 25, 1909, a pioneering achievement in aviation.
This monoplane is characterized by its simple yet effective design, featuring a wooden framework, a cloth-covered wing, and a lightweight, compact engine. It typically had an open cockpit, a single propeller, and a distinctive undercarriage with bicycle wheels.
The aircraft's successful Channel crossing demonstrated the potential of powered flight and marked a significant milestone in aviation history, contributing to the Blériot XI's status as an iconic early aircraft. It was widely used for both civilian and military purposes in the early 20th century.
