The Blériot Bl.73, Bl.74, Bl.75 and Bl.76 were large First World War French biplanes designed and built by Blériot. The Bl.73 was built to the BN.3 three-seat night bomber specification, the Bl.74 was to be a bomber-transport, the Bl.75 Aerobus was to be an airliner, while the unbuilt Bl.76 was intended for the BN.4 four-seat night bomber specification. Aside from the Bl.76, just one prototype was built of each type, with both Bl.73 and Bl.74 prototypes being lost in accidents while on test flights.
