The Blériot Bl.67 B.3 was a French biplane heavy bomber of the First World War, designed and built by Blériot for the 1916 competition known as the Concours des Avions Puissants. Only a single prototype was built. It was a large equal-span biplane with the fuselage braced between the two wings and four 75 kilowatt (100 horsepower) Gnome 9B rotary engines mounted above each other, two on the upper wing leading edge and two on the lower wing on each side of the fuselage. It had a biplane tail with three fins and a fixed conventional landing gear with twin-wheel main units. It first flew on 18 September 1916 but crashed on landing and was destroyed. Its empty weight was 1,800 kilograms and its gross weight 3,500 kilograms.
