Blériot XLIV

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Blériot XLIV was a single-seat observation monoplane designed in France by Louis Blériot during the early 1910s, a close relative of the Blériot XXXIX. The article that describes it is very short and gives few figures: its recorded specifications give a length of 6.45 metres and one Gnome Monosoupape 7 Type A 7-cylinder air-cooled rotary piston engine of 60 kilowatts (80 horsepower) driving a two-bladed propeller. The same specification entry lists a crew of two, which does not agree with the single-seat description in the lead sentence. The article gives no date, no production figure and no account of its service.
