Original Blériot first flown in 1909. Incredible to see a machine this old still flying.

    1. lol is it PWM throttle? Like it’s full blast or off and you control the speed by using the throttle in pulses?

    2. This has to be a replica right, not an actual plane from 1909.

      Wonder if they used the same materials from the period or if this is stronger/lighter/modern material.

    3. Only 6 years after the wright brothers and this thing could actually fly a usable height and distance.

    5. Totally deceptive headline. The original aircraft has been in the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers in Paris since 1909 and has never flown again

      Just 9 new wings, 15 propellers, 5 new tails, 3 seat, one set of Victorian pram wheels etc, etc, etc.
