Blériot-Voisin Company

During 1903, Blériot teamed up with Gabriel Voisin, another aircraft designer, to form the Blériot-Voisin Company. The company built a floatplane glider, which flew during 1905. They also developed a biplane powered by an Antoinette motor. The company broke up in 1906, and Blériot began to build and fly aircraft of his own design.
