Blériot 125

The Blériot 125 was a French prototype passenger plane first flown in March 1931. Of unconventional design, it had the twelve passengers seated in twin fuselages, six in each. There was a central nacelle, which had a forward tractor engine and a rear pusher engine. The crew compartment was between the two engines.

I was displayed at the 1930 Salon de l’Aéronautique in Paris before it has flown. When test flights took place, it was found to have poor flying characteristics. Attempts to rectify the problems continued into 1933 but were not successful. The Blériot 125 was scrapped in 1934.
