The Bleriot is restricted to straight hops across the aerodrome. However it is the world's oldest aeroplane with the earliest aero-engine in flying condition.

Please note that if there are any errors in any of the aircrafts’ descriptions then it is entirely my fault. Please let me know so I can correct them.

More details of the aircraft can be found at the Shuttleworth Collection website.
