Bleriot 155

The Bleriot 155 was a transport aircraft developed by the French firm Bleriot. This aircraft was designed as an evolution, based on the earlier Bleriot 135 transport aircraft. The prototype successfully completed its maiden flight on July 29, 1925, marking an important step in commercial aviation.

Technical Specifications

The Bleriot 155 was configured as a biplane, a common design for stability and lift during that era. It was powered by four powerful Renault 8Fg engines, each delivering 230 horsepower. This robust design allowed the aircraft to transport up to 17 passengers, making it a significant carrier for its time.

Operational History

Only two examples of the Bleriot 155 were ever built. These aircraft entered service with the prominent airline Air Union. They were primarily utilized on the crucial and popular route connecting Paris and London, playing a role in the nascent international air transport network.
