The Deperdussin Coupe Schneider was an early racing aircraft built in 1913 by Aéroplanes Deperdussin, a French manufacturer started in 1911 and reorganised that year as the Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés, or SPAD. It was a floatplane version of the Deperdussin Monocoque and, like that aircraft, had a mid-wing layout and monocoque all-wood construction. Flown by Maurice Prévost, it won the Schneider Trophy race of 16 April 1913. Published specifications give a crew of two, a length of 9.98 m, a wingspan of 13.49 m, a gross weight of 1,200 kg and a 120 kW (160 hp) Gnome Lambda-Lambda two-row rotary engine, with a maximum speed of 120 km/h.
