Den Deperdussin 1910 monoplane was an early French aircraft designed by Louis Béchereau and built by Société Pour les Appareils Deperdussin (SPAD). It was a single-seat, single-engine, low-wing aircraft with a wire-braced wooden structure covered with fabric. The Deperdussin 1910 monoplane was one of the first aircraft to use ailerons for lateral control, instead of wing warping.
It was also one of the first aircraft to achieve high speeds, reaching over 100 km/h in 1911. The Deperdussin 1910 monoplane was used for racing and record-breaking flights, as well as for military purposes during World War I. It was the predecessor of the famous SPAD S.VII fighter.
