Default Blériot 125

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%A9riot_125

The Blériot 125 (or Bl-125) was a highly unusual French airliner of the early
1930s. Displayed at the 1930 Salon de l'Aéronautique in Paris, it featured
accommodation for twelve passengers in separate twin fuselages. Between them,
these pods shared a tailplane and a high wing. The centre section of wing joined
the fuselage pods and also carried a nacelle that contained an engine at either
end and the crew compartment in the middle. When flown the following year, it
displayed very poor flight characteristics and although attempts to improve it
continued on into 1933, certification could not be achieved and the sole
prototype was scrapped the following year.
