The Blériot XXXVI Torpille was an observation monoplane designed in France by Louis Blériot during the early 1910s. A variant, the Blériot XXXVIbis La Vache, was flown by Jules Védrines on several daring missions behind enemy lines in the early months of the First World War. Its recorded specifications give a crew of one, a length of 8.33 metres, a wingspan of 12.25 metres, a wing area of 25 square metres, an empty weight of 375 kilograms and a maximum speed of 115 kilometres per hour. It was powered by one Gnome Lambda 7-cylinder air-cooled rotary piston engine of 60 kilowatts (80 horsepower) driving a two-bladed propeller.
