Blériot 110
The Blériot 110 (or Blériot-Zappata 110) was a French aircraft intended to attempt new world aerial distance records in 1930.
==Design and development ==
It was built specifically at the request of the French government and was a large high-wing cantilever monoplane. For its long-distance mission, it was equipped with six fuel tanks in the wings and four in the fuselage to hold a total of 6,000 L (1,319 Imperial gallons or 1,585 US gal). Because the pilot and co-pilots seats were behind the huge fuselage fuel cells, a unique mirror system was provided for take-offs and landings. Also a sleeping couch was provided behind the co-pilot's station so one of the two crew members could sleep on long-distance flights.〔("Mirrors Help Record Ship Take-Off and Land." ) ''Popular Mechanic'', December 1933, p. 807.〕
The aircraft's first flight on 16 May 1930 was cut short by a fuel supply problem, although no damage was sustained. After repairs, it was taken to Oran, Algeria, to make attempts on the closed-circuit distance record. Between 15 November and 26 March 1932, the Blériot 110, with pilots Lucien Bossoutrot and Maurice Rossi, broke this record three times; the final occasion staying aloft for 76 hours 34 minutes and covering a distance of . By this time, the aircraft had been named ''Joseph Le Brix'' in honour of the aviator who had perished flying the 110's rival Dewoitine D.33.
On 5 August 1933, Paul Codos and Maurice Rossi set a new straight-line distance record, flying from New York to Rayak, Syria - a distance of . Further records were attempted over the next two years, but when all proved unsuccessful, the 110 was scrapped.
