The Blériot 111 was a French four-seat executive transport monoplane designed by André Herbemont. It was a low-wing, single-engined monoplane with an enclosed passenger cabin and an open cockpit for the pilot forward of the cabin. The first variant, the 111/1, flew on 24 January 1929 with a 280 horsepower Hispano-Suiza 6Mbr water-cooled in-line engine. Later variants changed the engine and the landing gear, and the 111/4, which flew on 27 October 1930, carried retractable landing gear, a first for a French aircraft. The 111/3 flew with the Patrouille Blériot, giving exhibitions around France and Spain in the 1930s, and the 111/6 was withdrawn from the 1934 London to Melbourne air race after its landing gear was damaged. With no commercial interest, no more were built.
