The Antoinette IV was an early French monoplane. It was a high-wing aircraft with a fuselage of extremely narrow triangular cross-section and a cruciform tail. Power was provided by a V8 engine of Antoinette's own design driving a paddle-bladed tractor propeller. Lateral control was at first attempted with large ailerons hinged to the trailing edge of the wingtips - although wing-warping was substituted at an early stage in flight trials, and in this type proved more effective.

On 19 February 1909, the Antoinette IV flew 5 km (3 miles) at Mourmelon, and on 19 July, Hubert Latham attempted to cross the English Channel in it, covering 11 km (7 miles) out of Sangatte before making a forced water landing due to engine failure. On 26 August, the aircraft was used to set a world distance record of 154.6 km (96.1 miles), covering this distance in 2 hours 17 minutes.
