The Blériot XLIII was a French reconnaissance aeroplane of the period of the First World War, designed and built by Blériot. The crew sat in the cabin in tandem, with a window at the observer's position to give a good view, and the aircraft was a mid-wing double-wing design with a monocoque fuselage and an 80 horsepower Gnome 7A engine. In March 1913 Louis Blériot built it as a further development of the Blériot XXXVI. It could be used for long-distance reconnaissance, but its mediocre flight characteristics meant Blériot could not conclude a contract for mass production. Its recorded specifications give a length of 6.02 metres, a wingspan of 10.10 metres, a gross weight of 350 kilograms and a maximum speed of 125 kilometres per hour.
