The Blériot V was an early French aircraft built by Louis Blériot. A canard design it was one of the first monoplanes albeit an unsuccessful one. Built in January 1907 Blériot first attempted to fly it at Bagatelle in March but met with no success until he enlarged the flying surfaces. On April 5 the machine made its first short hop and over the next few days Blériot extended these to about 5 metres (16½ feet) but on April 19 it crashed and was damaged beyond repair.
