Single-engine aircraft based on the Blériot XI. The original Bleriot XI was acquired for debt by entrepreneur Juan Vilanova and was then rebuilt with the help of engineer Luis Acedo. The aircraft was then presented at the Valencian National and Regional Exhibition in 1910, flying more than twice later from the Malvarrosa beach in Valencia. It is currently the oldest airplane preserved in Spain, since 1968 in the Museo del Aire de Cuatro Vientos.
