The Blériot 290 was a French sesquiplane flying boat of the 1930s, designed by Filippo Zappata as a three-seat touring amphibian. It had a streamlined single-step hull with an enclosed cabin and was powered by a Salmson 9Ab radial piston engine driving a two-bladed pusher propeller. It first flew in October 1931 and, after tests, was redesigned with a second step in the hull. The type proved underpowered and over-priced and never entered production, and the single prototype was scrapped in April 1937. Its recorded specifications give a length of 9.98 metres, a wingspan of 14.60 metres, a maximum speed of 205 kilometres per hour and a range of 650 kilometres.
