The Blériot X was an unfinished early French aeroplane by Louis Blériot, quite unlike anything else he had built. It was modelled closely on the successful aircraft of the Wright brothers, a pusher biplane with elevators and rudders carried on outriggers, and its recorded specifications give a crew of one pilot with two passengers, a length of 8 metres, a wingspan of 12 metres, a gross weight of 650 kilograms and a 37 kilowatt (50 horsepower) Antoinette 8V V-8 water-cooled piston engine. After exhibiting it at the Salon de l'Automobile et de l'Aéronautique in Paris in December 1908, Blériot abandoned it and returned to developing his increasingly successful monoplane designs.
