Bleriot IX

This mod gives you the chance to fly an aircraft designed by French aviator and engineer Louis Bleriot in 1909

Bleriot IX

✈️ Historical background

The Bleriot IX aircraft was based on Louis Bleriot's previous design, the Bleriot VIII (built in 1908). This successful aircraft enabled him to achieve the first round-trip flight between cities in the history of aviation:

• October 31, 1908, two completed flights of 13 kilometers between Toury and Artenay
• Based on this success, Bleriot invested 400,000 francs of his own money to build his three subsequent models: Bleriot IX, X and XI

🛠️ Design features

Bleriot IX adopts the design principles of Bleriot VIII:

• Mid-wing monoplane configuration
• Streamlined quadrilateral body
• Penaud type tail wing
• Four-blade aluminum propeller

The fuselage was lengthened (the Bleriot VIII was 7.5 meters long, while the Bleriot IX was 12 meters long), and most importantly, the new model benefited from a significant increase in power thanks to the 50-horsepower 16-cylinder Antoinette engine.

🔧 Technical details

This engine has an impressive cooling system consisting of four tubular radiators:

• Two horizontally mounted at the tail
• Two mounted vertically in the nose gear frame

This increase in size and power has also resulted in a significant increase in weight (the Bleriot IX weighs 480kg).
