The next aircraft was built by Gabriel Voisin for Bleriot. It too was a floatplane but was powered by two Antoinette 25-hp engines and had ring-shaped wings. Despite numerous modifications (including fitting a single 50-hp Antoinette in place of the two smaller engines) the aircraft never flew. It was one of the earliest to be fitted with ailerons.

L.Opdyke - French Aeroplanes Before the Great War /Schiffer/
Bleriot's third try. The forward elevator cell is set between the wings, with 2 propellers in front of it. Louis Bleriot embarked on a somewhat hit-and-miss programme of experimentation with his No III floatplane, seen here on Lac d'Enghien in 1906. It subsequently underwent a number of transformations, but never took to the air.
