The Bristol Type 109 was a British two seat long distance biplane built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company at Filton Aerodrome. It was a single engine conventional biplane built in 1928 for an attempt on the world distance record, powered by a 480 hp Bristol Jupiter VIII radial engine, and it first flew on 7 September 1928. The record attempt was abandoned and the aircraft was modified for a world flight by Bert Hinkler, which was also abandoned. Bristol then used it as an engine test bed for the Jupiter XIF engine. It never flew beyond the United Kingdom and was scrapped in 1931.
