Artifact1909 Bleriot XI Monoplane
Small enough to be taken apart and shipped anywhere, the Bleriot XI could be reassembled from drawings, with basic tools, in about nine hours. Louis Bleriot proved the design's worth in 1909 when he piloted an XI Monoplane on the first flight across the English Channel.
