Blériot XXVII

Pioneer and Early Aviation Aircraft

The Blériot XXVII was a middle-wing, single-seat racing aircraft designed by Louis Blériot. Its recorded specifications give a crew of one, a length of 7.50 metres, a wingspan of 8.90 metres, a wing area of 12 square metres, a gross weight of 430 kilograms, a maximum speed of 125 kilometres per hour and a 37 kilowatt (50 horsepower) Gnome 7 Omega 7-cylinder air-cooled rotary piston engine driving a two-bladed propeller. The company article on Blériot Aéronautique dates it to 1911, records that one was built and exhibited at the 1911 Paris Aero Salon, and says it is preserved and on display at the Royal Air Force Museum London.
