The Bristol Monoplane, sometimes known as the 1911 Monoplane, was the first monoplane designed and built by the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company. George Challenger and Archibald Low designed this single seat aircraft in 1911, and two were built at Filton in February of that year. It combined features of the Bleriot, with warping wings, and the Antoinette, with a triangular section fuselage, and was powered by a 50 hp Gnome engine driving a two bladed propeller, with a conventional undercarriage and a tail skid. Number 35 was sent to Larkhill for testing and then shown at Olympia in March 1911, and number 36 was displayed at St Petersburg in April 1911. Number 35 was damaged when it failed to take off and was not repaired.
