The Blériot XXI was an early French aircraft built by Blériot Aéronautique, a shoulder-wing monoplane powered by a 52 kilowatt (70 horsepower) Gnome Gamma 7-cylinder rotary piston engine driving a two-bladed propeller. The pilot and passenger sat side by side with a central control column and two sets of rudder pedals so that it could be flown from either seat, and lateral control was by wing-warping. Its undercarriage was a variant of the pattern used on the Blériot XI, with the wheels on sprung trailing arms. A Type XXI was one of the two Blériot designs entered for the 1912 British Military Aeroplane Competition. Its recorded specifications give a length of 8.31 metres, a wingspan of 11.15 metres, an empty weight of 389 kilograms and a maximum speed of 94.8 kilometres per hour.
