Bleriot 53. It is believed that the twin-engine aircraft was intended to meet the same specification as the Caudron G.4. The twin engines were intended to improve the aircraft's performance compared to the Caudron G.3 and M.F.11, which could not be flown in poor weather. Louis Bleriot.

Bleriot Twin-Engine Aircraft (Bleriot 53)
Built for reconnaissance missions in 1915, this unusual plane had two 80-hp Le Rhone engines in nacelles mounted between the wings. The fuel tanks were located directly behind the engines. The forward fuselage was conventional, while the rear portion appears to have been left partially without fabric covering. There was a rectangular rudder and biplane horizontal stabilizers. The three-bay wings appear to have been of equal span. It is believed that tests were later conducted with two 100-hp Anzani engines. The type, which may have been designated the Bleriot 53, was not selected for production.
